How to communicate with Parents and Guardians

Updated

It is important to clearly communicate any initiative you’re running with your school community, especially when it involves student wellbeing. To support this, we provide notification and consent templates that schools can adapt to meet local requirements and expectations.

Notification forms for most regions and schools

Download this general notification form template. You can amend this template as needed to reflect your school’s context, policies, and communication style.

Notification forms for Aotearoa/New Zealand schools

Schools in Aotearoa/New Zealand can use this localised notification form. This version has been tailored to align with local expectations and requirements. 

Request consent from Parents/Guardians (US only)

To support our US partners, we provide templated parental or guardian consent forms designed to help schools meet student privacy and consent requirements. These templates are designed to support compliance with the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) and applicable state laws that expand upon PPRA.

These downloadable resources are intended to help schools efficiently create and distribute consent permission slips to parents and guardians.

  How to use the consent templates

Download the consent form that best aligns with your state's requirements. You can edit the templates to include school-specific details, such as school or district name. Sections needing personalization are highlighted to make updates quick and easy.

Condensed and expanded consent forms

We provide informed and passive consent approaches in both expanded and condensed formats.

Condensed consent forms (one page)

These forms provide a high-level overview of Pulse, how it supports student well-being, and why the school uses it.

Expanded consent forms (two pages)

These forms provide more detailed information about Pulse, including how it supports student wellbeing and aligns with the school’s broader mission.
