Ask anything, get the official answer
Attendance rules, calendar dates, transportation, health policies, middle- and upper-school processes — answered from Overlake's published handbook and official pages, with the source and date shown every time.
A note for Overlake parents
Every Overlake question, answered.
Every form, drafted for your approval.
Permission Slip is a family assistant built for The Overlake School. Ask it about attendance, transportation, calendar dates, or health policies and it answers from the school's official sources — and when something needs doing, it prepares the form or message and waits for your go-ahead.
What it does for your family
Drafts, never silent actions
Permission Slip can prepare an absence request, a transportation change, or a message to the right office — but nothing is ever submitted, sent, or changed until you review the exact wording and approve it.
One place instead of five logins
It knows which tool handles what — MyOverlake, Canvas, Wise, the right office email — and walks you to the right place, or fills the form with you watching.
A record you can trust
Every draft, approval, and outcome is kept in a private history for your family, so you can always see what was asked, what was said, and what happened.
See it work, right now
The demo is the real thing. Open the public Ask page and try a question like "My child has a fever — when can they come back?" or "How do I report an absence?" You'll get an answer with the exact handbook source — no sign-up, nothing saved.
Open the live demoCareful by design
- Read-only by default — it looks things up, it doesn't change things.
- Every action requires your explicit approval, shown in full first.
- Official policy is always separated from parent tips and anecdotes.
- It never asks for or stores your school passwords.
