Paper permission slips, newsletters, and enrolment forms — the bane of every administrator's existence!
If you've ever found yourself buried under a mountain of printed papers, only to have them forgotten at the bottom of a school bag, you know just how frustrating this process can be. It’s a tedious task that consumes precious time every week, and let's face it — most parents don't appreciate it either. (Unless, of course, they don’t receive one; then it’s a whole different story!)
The Chaos of Paper-Based Processes
The chaos of paper-based systems is all too familiar. No matter how organised your desk appears or how sophisticated your storage solution is, paper has a magical ability to go missing. We’ve heard from sports coordinators who’ve received permission forms shoved into their hands at the most unexpected times, only to forget where they placed them later. They’re not alone; this is a common scenario in the world of administration!
Once the information is in, it often goes out of mind.
Most times, parents glance over the slips and sign their consent, and if that tear-away form isn’t stuck to the fridge with a Movie World magnet memoir, they might as well forget it exists! This leads to the same information being repeated in emails, texts, and phone calls — not exactly the most efficient use of time.
And when plans change?
Well, it’s time for another round of newsletters and PDF forms, and the tedious cycle starts all over again! Paper copies are static — you can’t edit them, which means you must resend information each time there’s a change. Even PDF forms are cumbersome to update, requiring time to edit, re-download, save, and then send out again.
Is There a Better Way?
So, is there a faster solution? Why not just ditch the paper permission slips, enrolment forms, and newsletters altogether?
At Enrolmy, we understand that school staff, holiday programme providers, before and after-school care owners, and childcare establishments have legal obligations to gather health and safety information for students, obtain consent from caregivers, and share important details with stakeholders. While we can’t eliminate these processes completely, we’ve developed the next best alternative: a system that replaces cumbersome paper forms with a streamlined digital process!
Here’s what some of our satisfied customers have to say about transitioning from paper systems to Enrolmy!
The Enrolmy Advantage
Our partners have successfully banished paper-based processes from their daily administration while still collecting essential consent and information. Curious about how we made this possible? Here’s the scoop:
Enrolmy's flexible booking system allows you to upload important information that parents need, all displayed online. Whether it's training days for sports, the daily agenda for holiday programmes, or location and map details for venues, everything is accessible and easy to find.
One of the standout features of the Enrolmy software package is the automated enrolment form. This digital form replaces traditional permission slips and consent requests and can be created in less than 60 seconds! The software comes with pre-built, commonly asked questions such as phone numbers, addresses, emergency contacts, and vital health information.
Customisation at Your Fingertips
You have complete control over the questions on the enrolment form. Tailor it to fit your specific establishment by creating custom questions and selecting which ones are mandatory for parents to answer. The beauty of it all? You only need to set this up once!
When parents book for your programme or register their child for classes, activities, or sports, they are prompted to fill out the enrolment form as part of that process. It’s a seamless experience, and it’s all taken care of for you!
