5 Digital Forms For School Administrators

Simplify your education form process with online forms

Administrators often have a variety of internal and external forms that need to be completed for the school year. Paper forms often leave administrative staff bogged down with manual processes of data entry, filing, and storage. Not only is this process outdated, but, it is inefficient and expensive to maintain. Collecting student information with paperless forms means that your team can focus more on the students’ success and less on burdensome administrative processes. 

The first step to creating digital forms for your school is finding a drag-and-drop online form builder that is equipped with the necessary features. With GoFormz, you can build custom form templates with dynamic form fields with no coding experience. This empowers even the least technologically savvy employees to seamlessly create digital forms! 

There are several education forms templates that administrators can use to expedite and streamline student performance, enrollment, and registration. Read more below about the five most popular forms that educational institutions are utilizing:

Student Enrollment Form Packets 

The student enrollment process for administrators is often an inefficient and time-consuming process. Paper packets are filled with school registration forms, proof of guardianship forms, emergency contact information, and more. This often leads to messy, disorganized, and incomplete forms.

 With digital forms, you can easily upload your existing enrollment form PDF files into the form creator, drag-and-drop form fields onto the template, and then share them via email for parents to complete from their mobile devices! You no longer need to wait for parents to drop off completed enrollment forms - as soon as the form is filled out, your team will receive it.

Information Release forms 

Being aware of students’ allergies and medical conditions is imperative for educational institutions. With GoFormz’s HIPAA-secure mobile forms, you can ensure that you are in compliance while obtaining medical records. Once health information from students has been collected, you can safely store within your internal systems. Utilizing Automated Workflows, you can integrate GoFormz with your cloud-based applications like Box, Google Drive, Smartsheet, and more. 

Attendance Forms

Keeping track of your student attendance can be a hurdle that administrators face on a daily basis. With digital attendance forms, parents can submit an online form to teachers notifying them of when a student will be absent due to illness or vacation. With Signature fields, parents can sign off on the student’s attendance. This ensures that you can stay on top of attendance policies and when a student is absent without parental approval. You can even make fields Required to guarantee that no field is left incomplete. Dynamic field properties can be fully customized to fit the needs of your form. 

Course Evaluation Form

When a student has completed a course, it is important that parents receive their grades in an efficient manner. With paper course evaluations, students can neglect to give them to parents or lose the document. This often requires additional administrative staff to be tasked with calling or emailing parents.

Digital course evaluation forms can be automatically routed to parents via email with Automated Workflows. As soon as the teacher has completed grading exams for the semester, the form can be sent to parents. This guarantees no delays in notifying parents of issues and expedites administrative action needed. 

Permission Slips

Permission slip forms can cause a significant delay in approving off-campus activities like field trips. These paper forms are often misplaced by students or neglected to be completed by parents. With digital permission slips, your team can seamlessly send and collect completed forms. With GoFormz Reports, you can easily determine who within your roster has not received permission to go. This eliminates the time to parse through paper documents to find important data.
