Built for school communities
Your PTA deserves better.
Most PTA websites were built for a desktop in 2012. SchoolPTA is built for the phone in your pocket — with a calendar families actually sync, volunteers who sign up in one tap, and an AI assistant that answers questions at 10pm so you don't have to.
Used by Wellington Elementary PTA · Woodinville, WA
Five tools. Zero coordination.
There's a better way.
A website from 2015
OurSchoolPages, Weebly, a Google Site — functional, but not built for mobile. Parents give up before they find what they need.
Sign-ups on a separate platform
SignUpGenius works, but it sends families off your site, asks them to create another account, and shows them ads. It shouldn't be this hard to fill a volunteer slot.
No calendar sync
Events buried in a bullet list that nobody reads. No way to add to Google Calendar, no reminders, no subscribe link. The information exists — families just never see it.
One platform. Everything your PTA needs.
Less coordination work for your board. Better experience for your families.
Parents stop asking when things are
Every event has an Add to Calendar button. Families subscribe once and every future event appears automatically in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. One link. Zero friction.
Slots fill without you chasing anyone
Families sign in with their Google account — no new password. One tap to claim a slot. Automatic confirmation email with the event in their calendar. Coordinators see a live roster.
You stop being the school help desk
A chat widget on every page answers questions about events, programs, volunteering, and membership — 24 hours a day. Powered by Claude, grounded in your school's real data.
Sponsors and donors find everything in one place
Membership links, donation pages, employer matching guides for Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, and more — no hunting across five different sites.
One post. Every family. No algorithm.
Post announcements in seconds. Families subscribe and get updates without drowning in email. Board members draft newsletters in minutes with AI assistance.
Your PTA. Your URL. Your brand.
Your PTA gets its own subdomain — yourschool.schoolpta.org — from day one. Bring your existing domain on the Pro plan.
AI that works for your board
AI handles the admin. You handle the community.
The PTA president role is too big for one person. AI doesn't fix that — but it takes the coordination work off your plate so you can focus on the part that actually matters: your school community.
The chat assistant answers parent questions at any hour. The newsletter drafter turns your bullet points into a family email in minutes. The volunteer system chases nobody — slots fill and reminders send automatically.
You didn't sign up to run a help desk. SchoolPTA makes sure you don't have to.
Why we chose Claude
AI built for human benefit. Not engagement metrics.
Most AI tools use whichever model is cheapest. We chose Claude, built by Anthropic, because their founding mission is the responsible development of AI for the long-term benefit of humanity — not engagement, not profit, not growth at any cost.
For a platform that sits inside school communities, handles family data, and answers parents' questions, that distinction matters. The AI we put in that context should be one built with honesty, safety, and human benefit as core design principles — not added as a feature later.
Claude is also notably straightforward about what it knows and doesn't know. It won't invent an answer about your school's events or programs. In a community where wrong information means a parent showing up on the wrong day or a volunteer slot going unfilled, that honesty is worth more than sounding impressive.
Your school community deserves AI that was built thoughtfully. That's why we chose Claude.

Privacy & security
Your community's data is safe here.
We built SchoolPTA for schools from day one — which means we thought about data protection from day one. Not as an afterthought.
No passwords stored
Sign-in is handled entirely by Google. We never see or store passwords. If Google's authentication is good enough for your Gmail, it's good enough for volunteer sign-ups.
Schools can't see each other's data
Every school's data is isolated at the database level — not just the application level. Wellington's volunteers, events, and members are physically inaccessible to any other school on the platform.
No ads. No tracking. No selling data.
We don't run ads. We don't sell data. We don't share your community's information with third parties. Our business model is your subscription — not your data.
Your data is always yours
Export everything any time — events, volunteer records, member lists, news posts. If you ever leave, we send you a complete data export before deactivating your site. No data held hostage.
SchoolPTA does not store children's personal data. Volunteer and membership records contain parent information only.
Built for the way PTAs actually work.
PTA boards turn over every year. The president who set everything up moves on. The logins disappear. The institutional knowledge walks out the door. The next board starts over from scratch — and so do the families.
SchoolPTA is designed for this. Google sign-in means no lost passwords. Everything lives in one dashboard any admin can access. The school's history — events, volunteers, sponsors, programs — carries forward automatically. Year after year.
The PTA/PTO/PTSA owns the content. The board changes. The website doesn't.

See it live
Wellington Elementary PTA has been running on SchoolPTA since May 2026.
Everything you see at the link below is real — real events, real programs, real volunteer sign-ups, a live AI assistant. This is not a demo environment. It's a working school community website.
Wellington Elementary PTA
Woodinville, WA · Northshore School District
Wellington PTA approached us with an outdated OurSchoolPages site. We rebuilt it in weeks. Their parents now sync events directly to their calendars and volunteer sign-ups fill faster.
How much does your current setup actually cost you?
Not in dollars. In hours. In repeated emails. In volunteers you didn't get because the sign-up was too hard. In parents who gave up looking for the event time and just didn't show up.
The question isn't whether you can afford SchoolPTA. It's whether you can afford not to.
