PTOs, PTAs, Parents Clubs, Home & School Associations — whatever your school calls it, the volunteer board running it has been told to "just use a Facebook group" or "just use the school's email" for too long. Lumicura is the first software designed for the way parent organizations actually operate.
You're a volunteer. You have a day job. The previous treasurer left a 14-tab spreadsheet you can barely read. Lumicura gives you a system that survives the leadership turnover that's structural to this work.
You don't want one more system. You want fewer systems, less liability, and a parent organization you don't have to babysit. Lumicura is the only "parent group app" with row-level security that the parents — not the IT team — can actually run.
Most parent organizations are running a frankenstein stack — a group chat, an email list, a sign-up site, a spreadsheet, and a folder of paper forms. Here's what we replace, and what stays.
Three illustrative scenarios from our discovery interviews — composite stories drawn from real conversations with parent boards. We'll publish named case studies as our pilot schools complete their first year.
A 240-family parish school where the bookkeeper spends three weeks every June reconciling fundraising credits, volunteer hours, and tuition shortfalls into a single statement. Lumicura's commitment ledger replaces all three.
A 540-family independent school whose new PA president inherits a Google Drive folder and three GroupMe chats every July. Lumicura makes the handoff a single transfer of admin role — not a knowledge re-acquisition project.
A 380-family public elementary PTO whose volunteer hours flow into a state grant report. Lumicura's audit-ready point lineage replaces the existing process of three people cross-checking three spreadsheets.
No vendor implementation theater. We've designed onboarding to fit between two PTO meetings.
30-min call. We provision your tenant, apply your theme, set up your subdomain. You leave the call with a working URL.
Send us your family roster (CSV or FACTS/TADS export) and your commitment-hour rules. We configure point types, deadlines, and roles.
90-min session for the board + committee chairs. Hands-on with announcements, volunteer signups, and the commitment dashboard.
We ship a co-branded welcome email and PWA-install guide. Push notifications work day one. Help articles ready for the first 100 questions.
