Free field trip sign up

The headcount and the drivers. Not the permission slips

Two jobs come off the clipboard: who is coming, and who is driving. Paste the roster once and parents reply by their child's first name — then a list you write yourself hands out the car seats, the cooler and the spare sunscreen. The third job it does not do: nothing here collects a signature. You can link the district's form. You cannot track who signed it.

Made for field trip hosting

Who is actually coming

Paste the roster — one child per line, up to 300 at a time. Parents tap their child's first name and reply in about twenty seconds, no app and no account, and the yes count totals itself while the office is still asking.

The list, borrowed for the trip

One tap on “Start from the Class or school party list” gives you six lines — cups & plates for 30, napkins & wet wipes, juice boxes (24-pack), a pre-cut fruit tray, nut-free crackers or pretzels, trash bags & paper towels — and every one of them renames. “Chaperone who can drive 4” is a line like any other; give it three hands and the page keeps score: “2 of 3 spoken for”.

The permission slip, linked

Paste the district's form as the waiver link and it sits on the invitation under Handy links, then rides along in the day-before email. That is the whole of it — a link. No signature is captured, no file is stored, and nothing tells you who has and hasn't signed.

Motion sickness, inhaler, early pickup

Rewrite the RSVP's note question to whatever the trip needs to ask. Answers land privately with you, and the AI briefing sorts them into “Food & health:”, “Logistics:” and “Needs a reply:” before the bus pulls out.

AI writes the wording

Room 5 is off to the Natural History Museum! 🚌 The bus leaves at 8:05 sharp and we're back before last period. Pack a labelled lunch, no glass bottles, comfortable shoes. We still need three grown-ups who can drive — grab a line below — and tell us if your kiddo is coming.

Field trip questions, answered

Can parents sign the permission slip here?

No, and that's the honest limit of this page. There is one link slot for a waiver or permission form: paste the district's URL and it shows on the invitation and in the day-before email. That is the entire feature. Nothing captures a signature, stores a returned PDF, or tells you which families have signed and which haven't — the office's paperwork stays the office's paperwork. What you get instead is the other half of the clipboard: a parent saying yes in writing, with a way to reach them.

How do chaperones sign up, exactly?

By claiming a line on the what-to-bring list, because that is the only sign-up sheet in the app. Write a line — “Chaperone who can drive 4” — take it to three hands with the stepper in the Food tab (twelve is the ceiling), and any parent who has replied taps “I'll bring one” and types a few words when it asks what they're bringing. It works. It also looks like what it is: the card is headed What to bring and the buttons say bring. If that will read oddly to your parents, spend a line of the invitation text saying so.

Can I set this up once for every trip this year?

No. There are no recurring events and no rota — one event is one date with one list. Three trips is three invitations and three links. If what you actually need is eight Fridays of reading helpers covered by rotating volunteers, this is the wrong tool for that part of the job, and it's better to find that out now than in October.

The bus time moved. How do I reach everyone?

Change the time and send one party update. It goes by email to every parent who left an address and stayed subscribed, and by text to anyone who ticked the SMS box when they replied. A parent who left only a mobile and skipped that box can't be reached either way — so for a 6 AM change, a line in the class group chat is still worth sending.
