Year: 2014

In an effort to increase and simplify engagement between school personnel and parents, Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) started using an online service from ZippSlip.com, to collect and update student information in fall 2013 as part of the annual “back to school” activities. This solution offers a secure, online interface, which allows parents to receive, complete and electronically sign school forms without the use of paper. The result is a streamlined and easy-to-use process for parents to share information about their students. It also improves the quality of the data collected and eliminates the need for paper forms.
