Send a permission slip home

Send a permission slip home without paper. Families sign for each child on their family page by typing their name. You can ask questions, ask for a file, and collect a fee.

Before you start

• Front office comes with the School plan ($1,999 a year per site) and the District plan.
• To add a fee, an owner or admin connects Stripe first. Go to Settings, then Billing, then tap Connect Stripe.

Steps

1. Go to Front office, then Forms.
2. Type a Title, like Zoo field trip.
3. Add details in What families should know, optional.
4. Under Who, pick Everyone, a grade, or a class.
5. Under Questions for families, optional, add up to three questions. For each, pick Short answer, Yes or no, Pick one, or File upload (PDF or photo). Tick Required if every family must answer.
6. For Pick one, type at least two choices in Choices, separated by commas.
7. To charge, enter a Fee per student, optional.
8. Pick a Due date. It cannot be before today. Tick Allow a text on the last day if you want one.
9. Tap Send form home and confirm.

Good to know

• Every family in the group gets an email with a link to sign right away. Each email uses 1 message credit.
• Families sign once per child. Tap the form name to watch each child go from Waiting to Signed.
• With a fee, a slip is not done until it is paid. Families pay the platform fee on top. The fee can be up to $1,000.
• Files can be a PDF or a photo up to 8 MB. Only signed in staff can open them.
• A Pick one question needs at least two choices. With fewer, nothing is sent and the page asks you to add one.
• Tap Close and confirm to stop a form. Families can no longer sign it.
