9 Free Sample Parent Sign in Sheet Templates

In many educational institutions, it is a belief that parents involvement in their children’s activities is a must, this helps the child to grow in a better environment where he/she knows that his/her parents are 100 percent dedicated to his/her future. These educational institutions hold various events where the parents are invited and asked to volunteer. They want to know how many parents attended the event and who attended. This can only be done via a sign in sheet. A sign in sheet can be defined as a sheet where people sign in to record their presence and to let the organizers know that they are so and so and they have just entered the premises to attend an event.

A sign in sheet is not very complicated and there is usually nothing much to do about it. People who are responsible for making and designing a sign in sheet just take a plain paper, keep it out in the front with just a header mentioning that it is a sign in sheet for a conference. This is a wrong practice and the sign in sheet should be taken seriously. When organizing, it is recommended that there should be some detail mentioned on top or attached to it related to the event that the parents will be attending. It can include the activities they will be involved in, if there will be something special and etc. The reason behind this is that individuals who will be signing in and showing their presence will be giving their signatures or writing their names and authorizing themselves to enter. They should know exactly what they are attending. If there is no such mention of detail, the parents will just be confused and in the end may feel like they have wasted their time and it is not the kind of thing that they wanted. It is vital for the organizers to mention detail since it will create a lasting impression on the visitors.

A sign in sheet should be very organized. The header should be in a big and bold font, such that it can be seen clearly by all. The detail regarding the place or for anything can either be mentioned in a few sentences just below the header or can be attached along or mentioned at the back. It is better to make use of the first option. Make sure that the font that you have used is readable and gives a good impression. Then columns should be made which mention the name of the parent (one can also include the name of student of which the parent has come), the time in and time out, and some kind of identification number. In the end a signature column should also be mentioned. Since people won’t know that they are supposed to sign in on the sheet, a board or a person can have the responsibility of directing people to make use of the sign in sheet. The size of the sign in sheet depends upon the number of people that are being expected and just to be careful, an extra sheet should always be drafted.
