Frequently Asked Questions
What is a permission slip?
A permission slip is a written consent form completed by a parent or guardian that authorizes a child to participate in a school or organization activity. It typically includes trip details, emergency contact info, medical notes, and a signature that confirms the parent understands and agrees to any risks or requirements.
Who should use permission slip templates?
Schools, teachers, summer camps, youth groups, churches, sports clubs, and any organization that coordinates activities for minors can use permission slip templates to collect consent efficiently and keep records organized.
How do I include medical or allergy information on a permission slip?
You can add dedicated fields for health information, allergies, medications, and special instructions. Make fields required when necessary, and include checkboxes or free-text areas for more detailed notes. Consider adding a field for emergency contact and physician information as well.
Can I require additional documents or attachments (e.g., medical forms, insurance cards)?
Absolutely. Use Jotform’s file upload field to allow parents to attach relevant documents like medical authorizations, insurance cards, or completed health forms when they submit the permission slip.
Can I automate sending signed permission slips to other systems?
Yes. Jotform integrates with cloud storage and communication tools so you can automatically send signed PDFs to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, email addresses, or notify staff via Slack and other apps to streamline your workflow and record-keeping.
Are permission slips stored securely in Jotform?
Yes. Jotform offers secure data handling, including encrypted forms and password-protected PDFs.
Do I need to consult legal or school district policies when creating permission slips?
Permission slip templates are meant to help standardize consent collection, but you should review your local laws, school district rules, and organizational policies to ensure your wording, liability clauses, and medical consent sections meet required standards. When in doubt, consult your legal or administrative team.
