How Do I Coordinate Events Such as Open Days and Graduation Ceremonies?
To coordinate events such as open days and graduation ceremonies, manage each event as a small project with phases, a program, tasks with owners, a budget and a guest list with confirmations.
In Jestor, events move through a Kanban from planning to wrap-up, with schedule, expenses and RSVPs in the same place.
Why are school events stressful to organize?
Events involve many people: staff, students, families, suppliers and speakers. Tasks are spread across emails and chat groups.
Details are missed, expenses exceed the budget and confirmations are counted by hand on the day before.
What problems does event coordination solve?
- Forgotten tasks close to the event date
- Expenses without a budget control
- Unknown number of confirmed guests
- Suppliers not confirmed in time
- No reusable plan for the next event
How do I coordinate an event in Jestor?
- Create the event with date, location and owner.
- Plan the program and tasks with deadlines.
- Track expenses against the event budget.
- Collect RSVPs through a form and count confirmations automatically.
- Send reminders to guests through WhatsApp templates.
| Phase | Main tasks |
|---|---|
| Planning | Date, venue, budget |
| Preparation | Suppliers, program, invitations |
| Confirmation | RSVPs and reminders |
| Event day | Checklist and check-in |
| Wrap-up | Expenses closed, feedback collected |
How do I reuse the plan next year?
Keeping the program, tasks and expenses recorded creates a template for next year's event.
The team starts with a tested plan and realistic costs.
Why use Jestor for school events?
- Ready model: the Event Planning solution in the Jestor templates includes program, expenses and schedule.
- RSVP forms: confirmations counted automatically.
- Budget control: expenses compared with the plan.
- Shared view: every team sees the same event board.
Supplier confirmations deserve their own tasks. Catering, sound, photography and decoration each need a confirmation date, and tracking them on the event board avoids the classic surprise of a supplier who never received the final details.
Assigning one owner per supplier makes follow-up simple.
This approach helps you coordinate events such as open days and graduation ceremonies calmly.
