Where registration gets hard
Class sign-up night is a scramble
Everyone wants the same science class, the sign-up sheet fills in minutes, and the families who missed it email the board.
Every family's total is a math problem
A family fee, a class fee per child, supply fees and a sibling discount, paid by check, cash or a payment app and added up by the treasurer.
Who's teaching, who's helping, who's on cleanup
Parent duties live on a clipboard, and the coordinator spends the first week of the semester working out who agreed to what.
How BackPR helps
How it works in BackPR
Family fee first, then classes
Families pay a yearly or semester family fee as a household membership, and class registration opens only to member families.
Semester classes with a fair sign-up
Open class registration on a set date, cap each class and use a lottery or waitlist for the popular ones. Parents add every child's classes to one cart and pay once.
Parent duties on the registration form
Ask each family to choose a duty as part of registration: teaching, assisting, nursery or cleanup. A separate volunteer form works too. Then pull a list of who signed up for what.
Rosters for parent teachers
Each parent teacher signs in to see only their own class roster, with allergies, emergency contacts and attendance.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is BackPR free for our homeschool co-op?
If your co-op is a registered nonprofit, yes: no subscription and no BackPR fees. Card payments run on Stripe at Stripe's standard rates, which you can absorb or pass on to families. Other co-ops can request a quote.
Can we charge one fee per family and another per class?
Yes. Charge the family fee once as a household membership, then a class fee and any supply fee for each child.
Can teaching families register first?
Yes. Give families who teach an access code for early registration before classes open to everyone.
Can we reuse this semester's classes next semester?
Yes. Copy classes, prices and forms to the next term, then change the dates and teachers.
