What is a permission slip?

A permission slip is a form a parent or guardian signs to allow a child to join an outing or an activity. The top part gives the details of the trip, and the bottom part is returned with a signature and emergency contacts. Send it home with a return date.

How to make a permission slip in 3 steps

  1. Describe the trip or activity

    What it is, the date, when it leaves and gets back, where, how everyone travels, the cost, who to call, and what to bring.

  2. Print or email it to families

    Leave the child’s name, contacts and health notes empty for parents to fill in, or fill them in for one child.

  3. Collect the signed slips

    Parents tick yes or no, add an emergency contact and health needs, and sign. Take the slips with you on the trip.

What to put on a permission slip

  • Your school, club or team, and what the trip or activity is
  • The date, when it leaves and gets back, and where it is
  • How everyone will travel, the cost and who to contact
  • What to bring and anything parents should know
  • The child’s name and class, and a clear yes or no
  • Emergency contacts for the day, and allergies, medicines or health needs
  • The parent or guardian’s signature and the date

Tips for trips and activities

  • Send slips home early and give a clear return date.
  • Check whether your school or district has its own form, or extra rules for travel, swimming or overnight trips.
  • Keep the signed slips and emergency numbers with the group leader for the whole trip.
  • Health information is private: share it only with the staff who need it, and keep or destroy the slips safely afterwards.
  • The emergency treatment line is a simple consent, not a full medical consent form. Use your organization’s form if it has one.

Printing for a whole class

  1. Fill in the trip details and leave the child and contact parts empty.
  2. Tick “Print this section” under “For the organizer” if you want boxes to track paid and returned slips.
  3. Print one per child at 100% (Actual size), or email the PDF to families.

General information, not legal advice. Schools, districts and clubs often have their own rules and forms for trips and activities.

Frequently asked questions

Is this permission slip maker free?

Yes. It is free to use, needs no account or sign-up, and never adds a watermark or a SnapPaperwork logo to your form.

Can I print one slip for the whole class?

Yes. Fill in the trip details and leave the child’s name, contacts and health notes empty. Every empty field prints as a line to write on.

Can parents say no?

Yes. The slip has two boxes: “I give permission” and “I do not give permission”. Parents tick one by hand.

Is the medical line a full medical consent?

No. It is a short consent for emergency treatment when the parent cannot be reached. Many schools and clubs have their own medical forms; use those if they apply.

Can I change the wording?

Yes. Click any heading, label or box on the form, or use the Wording panel, to rewrite it. You can also add a box for the organizer to track paid and returned slips.
