Top 3 Most Helpful Forms for Back to School
Simplify back-to-school season with online forms
As many families and students start preparing to return to school, so are teachers and administrators. Relying on physical documents to organize student data introduces opportunities for incomplete and missing information, putting you and your school at risk. While paper documentation adds to the administrative bottlenecks of back-to-school registration, introducing online forms makes it easy to optimize, simplify, and accelerate back-to-school registration while maintaining existing formatting, allowing your school to digitize and modernize documentation effortlessly.
Never lose another student information form or manually update student files with outdated processes again. GoFormz gives your administration team an advantage over both paper-based competitors as well as other online form solution providers with its digitization technology, which allows users the ability to use their exact paper forms – which no other online form builder solution can offer. Here are the top three most helpful online forms for back-to-school:
Student Enrollment Packets
Leveraging online forms to register students, collect student data, and much more, not only elevates school administrative teams but creates endless opportunities to further streamline additional aspects of school-related documents. Taking advantage of our form sharing feature, Public Forms, links to your student enrollment packets can be shared on your website, in email, and more, allowing easy access for parents/guardians to begin filling out student registration forms from the comfort of their home. This functionality places the data in the hands of administrators immediately, streamlining the day of in-person back-to-school registration for both families and administrators. Other notable features that can be included in online student enrollment packets are:
Signature fields – Easily capture parent/guardian consent.
Required fields – Enforce digital data capture with Dynamic Field Properties for thorough, completed registration packets
Automated Workflows – Once a student enrollment packet has been completed, automatically route copies of completed forms to school administrators, Tag forms with a student’s names, or upload forms to connected business applications (Google Drive, Box, or more).
School Activity Registration Form
School activity registration forms provide educators with an efficient, seamless way of collecting student information along with parent permissions. Rather than relying on students to deliver paper forms to their parents/guardians to fill out, complete, and authorize approval, digital forms can be easily shared and submitted online. With a variety of form field types to choose from, leverage the Signature field to gain immediate authorizations from parents/guardians, eliminating delays in activity registration. Other notable features that can be included are:
Public Forms – Set up a link to your online form on your school website to allow easy access for parents/guardians to begin filling out student activity forms online with our form sharing feature.
Date & Time fields – Configure your Date and Time fields to instantly populate when a form is generated, when a Signature is added, and more.
Dynamic Field Properties – Guide user data entry with dynamic formatting via simple form logic. Enable your fields to dynamically change their Background Color, become Required, become Visible or Hidden, and more.
Volunteer Form
It takes a village to ensure students have the best possible K-12 experience and finding parents/guardians to be actively participating members of the school can be challenging when relying on students to deliver volunteer forms to their parents/guardians. To better automate and organize activities that require volunteers, equip your digital forms with Datasources and form Logic to allow parents/guardians the opportunity to volunteer for specific events, with the ability to identify if a school activity has enough volunteers – eliminating potential activity cancellations due to insufficient amount of volunteers. Implement digital sign in sheets to get up-to-date notifications when volunteers or participants arrive to streamline your attendance process. Other notable features that can be included are:
Drop Down menus – Leverage Drop Down menus to select a specific school activity to volunteer for, especially if there are time slots available to choose from.
Checkbox Groups – Allowing volunteers to select numerous options for school activities.
Automated form-routing – Once a form is completed, automatically route form data to the desired location.
