- Sign Up Genius is the online tool used by Sonoran Sky Elementary PTO to organize and coordinate volunteers for various events. It's easy to use and eliminates the emails and paper sign up sheets we're all used to. You'll simply need to provide a first name, last name, and email address the first time you volunteer.
