Permission Slip Solutions?
Convened by Marko Pacic / Convent of the Sacred Heart

Attending: Jim Anderson / The Packer Collegiate Institute

Many parents are frustrated by the volume of paper permission slips they have to sign (and their children return successfully). Marko is looking for digital alternatives. He's currently looking at PermissionClick.

Jim shared that Packer uses a combination of online forms (emergency contact collection and blanket permission form for walking trips in the neighborhood) and paper forms (any overnight or overnight travel). This is primarily because overnight travel form requires BOTH parents (of a 2-parent household) to sign the form. While Adobe Sign does a great job of distributing forms and collecting signatures, the backend workflow is a pain since there is no SIS integration.

PDFfiller also looks like another potentially good solution and is priced very reasonably. ChalkSchools might be another.

No silver bullet was found...
