We could save a rain forest instead?

My Sunday was spent signing, reading, filling in, and signing some more preschool documents as Finn is embarking on a new phase in his life. I must have been occupied with other worries when Holly started Pre-K 4,5 years ago. I don't remember a pile of papers this big.
Do I really need to give permission for the teachers to put sunscreen on his face? If it's sunny, please do, if it's not, don't bother.
And permission for pictures? Sure, if you could catch him sitting still long enough....

The handbook, the medical forms, the in case of emergency forms, the earthquake and fire drill forms, the food policy, the "get to know your child" form, all the various care and share documents, they all fill very vital parts in my son's educational development from hereon. But there are so many of them.
It's an important exercise in how to best waste a lot of trees at the same time.
