School

Forms and consent

Updated in 5.20.69

Trip, photo and medical consent, and surveys: the school builds a form with its own questions, sends it to a section, a grade, an activity's members or chosen children, and the family answers and signs it in the parent portal. A form may carry a fee (a trip), billed when the family agrees. The results say who signed, who did not, and what each answered.

What the family does

In the parent portal each child's page lists «Forms to answer». The guardian presses «Answer and sign», answers each question, chooses «I agree» or «I do not agree», types their full name, draws their signature, ticks the box and presses «Sign and send». The name, the time and the address it came from are kept with the answer. A form is answered once.
