Digital Permission Slips

Distribute, Collect, and Track Permission Slips - Without Paper

Create permission slips with custom fields, terms and conditions, and send notifications and follow-ups. Distribute to targeted parent groups by year, campus, or activity. Parents receive the slip, review details, sign digitally, and submit - with family-level slips that let one parent sign for all their children in a single submission. Schools see real-time response tracking with outstanding, submitted, and overdue counts at a glance.

  • Family-level slips - one parent signs for all children in the household
  • Targeted distribution by year group, campus, house, or custom audience
  • Terms and conditions attachment with mandatory acceptance before signing
  • Real-time response tracking: outstanding, submitted, overdue, and declined
  • Close-after-due-date and late submission controls per slip

Automated Reminders & Notifications

Scheduled Reminders That Chase Responses So Your Staff Don’t Have To

Configure automated notification sequences for every slip and form: an initial distribution notice, scheduled reminders at intervals you define, and escalating chase notifications for overdue responses. Build reusable reminder schedule templates that can be applied to any slip. Notifications are delivered via email with full delivery tracking, and processed in the background so nothing blocks your school’s workflow.

  • Four notification types: Initial, Reminder, Chase, and Ad Hoc
  • Reusable reminder schedule templates with relative date offsets
  • Automatic targeting - reminders only go to parents who haven’t responded
  • Email delivery via Mailgun with open tracking and delivery status
  • Background processing - thousands of notifications without delays
  • Ad hoc notifications for custom follow-up messages at any time

Beyond the Form Builder - Everything Schools Need End to End

PortalHQ doesn’t just collect form responses. It handles the entire lifecycle from creation and distribution to tracking, reporting, and integration with your school’s systems.

PDF Receipt Generation

Every form submission and permission slip response generates a downloadable PDF receipt. Parents get confirmation, and schools have a permanent auditable record of every response.

CSV Export & Import

Export all form responses and slip submissions to CSV for reporting or external analysis. Import student and parent data via CSV for bulk slip distribution and audience targeting.

Approval Workflows

Route form submissions through staff approval workflows before they’re finalised. Ideal for medical update requests, contact detail changes, and incident reports that require sign-off.

Webhook & HTTP Repost

Automatically forward form submissions to external systems via HTTP POST webhooks. Connect to your SIS, CRM, or any system that accepts incoming data - with configurable headers and endpoints.

Multi-Audience Targeting

Target forms and slips to specific audiences: year groups, campuses, houses, activity participants, or custom lists. Combine audience rules to reach exactly the right parents without manual list management.

SIS Integration & Sync

Form responses and slip submissions sync with TASS, Synergetic, Sentral, and other school information systems. Student and family data is pulled from your SIS to keep distribution lists always current.

Build, Distribute, and Track - in Three Steps

PortalHQ replaces paper permission slips, generic Google Forms, and disconnected spreadsheet trackers with one purpose-built school forms platform.

1

Build

Drag and drop fields to create your form or permission slip. Add terms and conditions, payment fields, file uploads, and digital signatures. Set due dates and configure your reminder schedule.

2

Distribute

Target parents by year group, campus, house, or custom audience. PortalHQ sends the initial notification and automatically follows up with reminders on your schedule - only to parents who haven’t responded.

3

Track & Report

Monitor responses in real time: who’s submitted, who’s outstanding, and who’s overdue. Export to CSV, generate PDF receipts, and sync data back to your SIS automatically.
