SCHOOL ONLINE FORMS
Create custom online forms or use preset templates. Choose audience and publish!
Publish the form school-wide. Or set the form for specific audiences, such as grades, classrooms, groups, or a school event. Whether you prefer one-time use per parent or allow re-submissions, the choice is yours.
Expedite the form creation process by using our Template Forms Library. Customize the template forms as much as wanted. Add your own templates and share them with your school administrators.
Text fields, radio buttons, drop-downs, checkboxes, date pickers, range sliders, file upload, and more! The School Signals K12 online forms are ready to meet your demanding information and data-collecting needs.
Create surveys and feedback forms that give your school community a voice. Choose from templates or build your own, and allow anonymous responses to make participation more comfortable.
With School Signals, online forms are part of your broader communication system—from publishing and distribution to submission tracking and account-level history.
A key advantage of using School Signals online forms is that submissions are integrated directly into user accounts—unless a form is intentionally set to anonymous. This allows schools to view form responses at the account level and maintain a clear history of participation over time. Integrated forms improve tracking, reduce duplication, and make it easier to share accurate information across the system when appropriate.
Target forms to specific audiences such as grade levels, classrooms, groups, or school events. Control how each form is used by allowing single submissions per parent or enabling re-submissions as needed.
New forms are automatically announced in the School Feed, with notifications sent to the intended audience. And to save time, start with templates from the built-in forms library.
