Pledges to donate a million dollars to America’s schools

Harried parents across America rejoice! SchoolPulse(TM) today announced the launch of new, desperately needed online tools so parents can manage their kids’ hectic school and extracurricular activities. Now, families can finally spend more time enjoying activities and less time keeping track of permission slips, practice locations, snack schedules, recital venues and car pooling arrangements.

More than 50 percent of American families spend only 10 hours together each week and now, with 45 million parents sending children back to school, it’s the perfect time for parents to make the most of each minute — and reclaim their sanity at last.

SchoolPulse simplifies parent’s lives by giving them simple tools to communicate with teachers, coaches, room parents, and other activity leaders. By registering, they receive a personalized homepage, calendar, and membership in groups for every activity in which their children are involved. These groups include discussion boards, wish lists, and photo sharing. Parents can finally move beyond the chaos created by all the disorganized communications coming at them via errant emails, late night phone calls, and crumpled notes in student backpacks.

Teachers, room parents, PTA leaders, coaches, and other activity leaders can manage their classrooms, teams, and groups on SchoolPulse as well. They can distribute schedules, invite parents to meetings, post classroom wish lists, and recruit volunteers to help using simple online tools. With a centralized place to share, everyone gets and gives what they need efficiently and expeditiously.

SchoolPulse founder, CEO, and father of four John Boynton explained, “Our kids’ lives are more complicated than ever. We created SchoolPulse to solve a problem that we understand very personally. This is all about enriching our children’s education and simplifying family life. It’s a great way to keep up with your kids.”

Recognizing that school budgets are under constant pressure, SchoolPulse is handing out a million dollars to schools across the country. The company is donating $1 for every parent and teacher who signs up before November 1 — up to $1,000 per school. Registration is free and takes only a minute. For complete details, visit SchoolPulse.com/million.

According to Boynton, “The Million Dollar Giveaway is our way of thanking schools for being a part of our family. The more people associated with a school that sign up for SchoolPulse, the more organized and easier everyone’s lives will be.”
