School supply drive sign-up sheet

A list of what's needed and who's bringing it.

A school supply drive sign-up sheet: list what the classroom needs, with a count on each, and let families claim what they'll bring. The count goes down as things are spoken for, so nobody arrives with the fourteenth box of tissues.

How to set it up

  1. Start from the teacher's listIt starts with the usual classroom supplies. Swap in what your teacher or school has actually asked for, and change the counts to match.
  2. Say where and whenPut where to drop things off and the last day for it in the description, so families don't have to ask.
  3. Send the linkShare it with families before the first day of school, or whenever supplies run low. Nobody needs an account.
  4. Watch the countsYour private link shows how much of each is spoken for. When a row fills, it's marked full and nobody else can take it.

What helps

  • Be specific about sizes and brands only where it matters: “a box of 12” stops a single pencil arriving, but most teachers don't mind the brand.
  • Families can claim more than one at a time. If a row needs ten boxes, one family taking three is fine, and the count says so.
  • For a whole-school drive, make a sheet for each grade, so each one's list stays short and easy to scan.
  • Some families would rather give money than shop. If someone is collecting it, say who in the description.

Something to send with the link

Copy it into a text, an email or the group chat, change what you like, and paste your link at the end.

We're collecting supplies for the classroom this year, and every little bit helps.

The sheet below lists what's needed, with a count on each. Pick anything you can bring, and drop it at the office. You don't need an account.

Here's the list:

Questions people ask

Can a family claim more than one of the same thing?
Each sign-up takes one place on a row. A family bringing three boxes of tissues can sign up three times, or say so in their note so you can adjust the count.
What happens when we have enough of something?
The row is marked full and stays on the list, so everyone can see it's covered, and nobody else can take it.
Can I add things later?
Yes. From your private link you can add rows, rename them, change how many each one needs, or take them off.
