We are new to B2. I am debating whether to combine our annual school permissions/forms into one document or to have them all as separate documents. What have you found to be more useful or successful? Thank you in advance

    IMO, separate forms are imperative! However, I do bundle them in a Student Checklist. There are different form types that support the various needs: profile update, emergency contact info, permissions, etc. When we moved to BBK12, I had to give up the one form that we had historically used.

    We use the Enrollment Management's Contracts function for an all-in-one Form to collect as much of the information we need as possible in one place. That has been fairly successful for 2 years.

    We do still assign a few forms out through the Academic section of BB, but our Contract covers almost everything (and even gives steps for uploading medical information to the Nurse's Office).

    Would you mind sharing a pdf of your contract? susan.blaisdell@tnsk.org

    Are you able to give students access to the student checklist? or it just for internal tracking?

    @Grant Harrison

    We went with the Nurse's Office forms this year and our Nurse is thrilled at the possibility. No more scanning all of the forms and them not even going in the correct place.

    I have been using school forms for a couple of years now, and have successfully moved everything including our parking form to electronic.
