School Signals Launches New After-School Programs Sign-up & Communication Feature

Coaches and instructors can use the same app their school is already using for school-wide and classroom communication, unifying communication platforms.

DENTON, TX, UNITED STATES, October 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- School Signals is proud to launch a consolidated feature for after-school clubs and programs. School administrators, program directors, and instructors manage the sign-up process, program schedule, updates to the program in the program communication feed, and the ability to message members privately.

The problem: Many schools rely on siloed third-party systems to manage communication for after-school programs. Program directors and instructors often request that parents download yet another app, adding to the already established communication methods. Parents have expressed frustration and fatigue at the prospect of using yet another app.

The solution: School Signals provides one unified and consolidated communication solution that now encompasses communication between the after-school program instructors and parents. Schools choose School Signals for its unified approach that reduces the number of apps and systems, and reliably provides a pleasant, controlled, and systematic way to update parents on school-wide news, classroom happenings, school events, volunteering in PTA / PTO, and now vital information on after-school schedules, sign-up times, and program updates. By integrating after-school communication into the same trusted platform, School Signals ensures parents receive every message in one place. Parents no longer have to switch apps or juggle logins.

“After-school instructors shouldn’t be left on their own to figure out communication,” stated James Shields, CEO of School Signals. “With the Clubs & Programs sign-up and communication enablement feature, schools can take an additional step toward unifying their communication and parent engagement. School administrators can see what’s happening in each program, offer support when needed, and help ensure families receive consistent updates.”
