permission slips
Signed approval documents
Permission slips are forms that parents or guardians sign to authorize a child's participation in school activities, especially field trips or events that take place off campus.
The slip transfers temporary responsibility from the school to the parent's acknowledged consent, protecting institutions from liability.
Don't forget to get your permission slip signed before Friday's trip to the museum.
The term has extended figuratively to any formal approval sought before acting: I don't need your permission slip to speak my mind.
