These free field trip permission slip templates give you 6 designs as Word documents on US Letter and A4: two permission slips, a classroom volunteer sign-up sheet, a parent volunteer form and two snack schedules, each in colour and in black and white. I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead. I put the trip details above a cut line, because families keep the top half and the school still gets the signed slip back.

In this guide, you’ll find which form suits each job, what to put on a permission slip, and how to get the slips back on time.

What Goes on a Field Trip Permission Slip?

A field trip permission slip tells families where the class is going, when, how and what it costs, and asks a parent or guardian to give permission in writing. It should also collect an emergency contact, any allergies or medical needs and a signature. Our full-page slip keeps the trip details at the top for families to keep, with a return slip to cut off and send back. Check your school’s own policy for anything else it asks you to include.

Which Parent Form Should You Use?

• Field trip permission slip: a full page with trip details to keep at home and a return slip with permission, emergency contact, allergies, payment and a signature.
• Permission slips, 2 per page: two short slips to a page, to copy for the whole class and cut in half.
• Classroom volunteer sign-up sheet: fill in the dates, jobs and times, and parents add their name and contact details. A box lists ways to help from home.
• Parent volunteer form: parents tick what they would like to help with and the days and times they are free.
• Classroom snack schedule: dates, families and snacks, with a line for class allergies and healthy snack ideas.
• Team snack schedule: a sports snack rota with the date, time, opponent, location and family for every game.
• Black and white versions: every template also comes in a printer-friendly black and white version with grey headings, to save ink.

How to Use the Permission Slip

1. Choose your paper size above, download the ZIP and open the field trip permission slip in Word.
2. Type the destination, date, leave and return times, transport, cost and what to bring at the top.
3. Add a return-by date a few days before the trip, so you have time to chase any missing slips.
4. Print a copy for every child and send it home.
5. Keep the signed return slips together and take them, with the emergency contacts, on the trip.

Send the volunteer sign-up sheet home a week or two before the trip if you need extra adults. For a fillable slip with drop-downs, use the fillable form templates, and for families’ meetings use the conference forms.
