Sign-up sheets and text alerts for Lancaster schools

Causly is two things for a Lancaster school, PTA, PTO, district, or booster club. Volunteer sign-up sheets are free. Text alerts and reminders are the paid plan.

The sheets are the free half, and there is no card involved. Put the shifts for the fall festival, the book fair or conference night on a public page and share one link. A volunteer opens it, picks a slot, and leaves a name, email and mobile number — no account, nothing to install. Each sign-up gets an email confirmation with a cancel link, up to a daily limit.

How Lancaster schools use Causly

• Sheets for the whole school year. Room-parent shifts, picture day helpers, the jog-a-thon, conference times. Unlimited sheets, unlimited slots.
• A coordinator hub for the day itself. Live counts, the full roster, a CSV export, and a print-out for the folding table.
• Text alerts, on the paid plan. Early release, a field-trip change, "still need two people for Friday." Write it now and queue it in your organization's own timezone.
• Joining is by reply. A number that signs up on a sheet or texts your keyword gets one text asking it to reply YES, and nothing else until it does. Any message can be stopped with a reply.
• Separate lists. Keep kindergarten parents and high-school families on different lists and send to one of them.
• Fundraisers from a text. Run the spring drive or the band-trip drive and collect payments from the message. The money goes to your school's or PTA's own Stripe account — Causly adds no platform fee on top.
• Link taps. Every link is shortened and click-tracked, so you can see how many taps each link got, and the payment ledger shows what was collected.

Share the work

Invite the PTA treasurer or a room parent by email and they work under your organization's plan — no separate logins to hand out.

Causly works the same way anywhere in Los Angeles County, from Lancaster out to the smaller districts nearby.
