Teachers plan trips and send permission slips for free. Families sign and pay from their phone. Schools approve, track, and keep every record in one place.
One trip / Everyone on it
A field trip touches a teacher, a principal, a family, a venue, and a bus. TripSlip gives them all the same plan.

Payments
Families can pay by card, pay cash, or ask for help, right on the slip. Paper slip and cash? Teachers record it in seconds, so every kid is counted the same way.
Our story
TripSlip started with Achsha Jones: Detroit educator, former museum group coordinator, and CDL school bus driver. She saw every way a field trip falls apart, from the permission slip to the drop-off. We built the tool she wished she had.
How it works
Pick a place on TripSlip or add your own: date, time, cost.
If your school uses TripSlip, it goes to your admin for approval. If not, you're good to go.
Families get a link. They sign, volunteer to chaperone, and pay. No paper in backpacks.
On trip day, check every kid on and off the bus from your phone.
