What should a permission slip include?

The trip and its date, the student, an explicit yes or no on permission, medical needs, emergency contacts, and a signature. A slip without the signature is not a record.

Can parents sign on their phone?

Yes. The signature is drawn with a finger and works on any phone, which is the difference between a slip returned the same evening and one that lives in a school bag for a week.

How do I chase the ones still missing?

Compare the responses against the class list and send a reminder to the difference. Exporting to Excel or syncing to Google Sheets makes that a two minute job before the deadline.

Field Trip Permission Slip

Get written consent before a class trip. Transport, medical needs, emergency contacts, and a signature you can keep on record.

About this template

One slip left on a kitchen table and a child stays behind. This form replaces the paper version with something a parent can complete on a phone: the trip details, the consent, medical and dietary notes, the emergency contact, and a signature.

The teacher gets a live list of who has replied instead of a pile to count against a register. Chasing the last four families becomes a filtered export rather than an afternoon.

Add a payment field if the trip has a cost, and a transport question if parents are able to drive.

Templates are a starting point, not legal or professional advice. Where a form carries consent, medical, or contractual wording, have somebody qualified review it against the rules that apply to you before you publish.
