A school administrator reviews digital permission slip submissions at a Chicago school office.

Chicago schools can replace paper permission slips with digital forms that make it easier for parents to approve activities and for schools to track responses.

Chicago schools can modernize permission management

Schools in Chicago often manage dozens of permission slips per student each year. Digital permission forms help parents approve activities, field trips, and programs from their phone, without printing and returning paper forms.

That saves time for parents and eliminates lost or missing permission slips for administrators.

Make permission forms clear and actionable

A good digital permission slip includes the activity details, date, cost if any, and a clear approval or decline option. Parents can complete it in under a minute on their phone.

Schools can track which students have responded and follow up with those who have not.

  • Include all activity details before the approval fields.
  • Use one form per activity for clarity.
  • Track responses to identify outstanding approvals.
