Improving Consent Forms & Waivers

We actually appreciate the tediousness of the consent forms for this reason. We only want those who are serious about the competition to be there, so if they do not put in the time and effort to get the form filled out correctly, they cannot represent the team at competitions. It helps weed out those who truly want to compete, and those who just want to miss a few days of school.

I took the time to complete a How-To document for New and Returning students, with screenshots and including shots of what the emails will look like. Last year was our first year getting 100% compliance with students signing up and 100% of the parents completing the consent form.

Would you share with the community? It will help me a lot. I spend a lot of time and effort to explain how to do it, ask them to do it, remind them to do it, tell them parents need to do it too, remind them to do it, tell some they did it wrong, remind them to do it, explain the consequence for not doing it, email parents to ask them to do it, remind students to remind their parents to do it, threathen them again with the consequence, plead with them to do it, and after about 4 months, I finally get 100% of them. This process repeats the next year. Heck, the build season is shorter than this.
