Frequently Asked Questions

Any off-campus activity, sporting event, club activity, performance, religious program, or event that involves physical risk or occurs outside normal school hours. Some schools also require permission for on-campus activities that deviate from regular curriculum (like science experiments or cooking classes).

For recurring activities (weekly sports practice, ongoing club meetings), a year-long permission slip works. For individual events (field trips, competitions), you need separate slips because the risks and details are different. A blanket yearly slip should still require updated medical info each semester.

The child can't participate. Follow up with a phone call or text reminder. Digital permission slips solve this problem — parents fill them out on their phone in 2 minutes, and you get automatic reminders for unsigned forms. Paper slips have a 30-40% non-return rate; digital drops that to under 5%.
