Chaperone Groups

Teachers split a field trip class into chaperone groups with contact info on every phone.

Nobody has claimed this yet. Be first.

The idea

Field trips mean sorting students into small groups, printing lists and hoping every chaperone has the right numbers. This tool builds the groups, sends each chaperone a private page with their students and the schedule, and has a quick headcount button.
