What is a permission slip?

A permission slip is a written consent form signed by a parent or legal guardian authorizing a child to participate in a specific activity, field trip, sporting event, or program. Permission slips serve as documentation that the parent was informed about the activity and has given their approval. Schools, camps, sports leagues, and youth organizations commonly use permission slips to ensure proper consent is obtained before any activity.
