Free Printable English and Spanish Parent Forms

About these bilingual parent forms handouts

Families read forms best in the language they speak at home. These seven forms put English and Spanish on the same page, with the English first and the Spanish next to it or underneath, so a form can be filled out by whoever is in the house and read by the teacher who sent it. The set mirrors the English parent forms on this site: a progress letter, a conference form, a communication log, a telephone call record, a note home, a permission slip and a newsletter.

The Spanish is written for families in US schools: plain, respectful and school-appropriate, using usted-style wording and neutral vocabulary that works for families from different countries. Where two phrasings are common, the form uses the one that reads naturally in most regions. Spanish speakers in your school community can review a form before the first copy goes home, and we ask for that review on the page.

These forms support your school's own procedures and do not replace them. Follow your school or district rules for records, translation and family contact; some documents, such as medical consent, must come from the school office in an approved translation.

Because the forms travel between school and home, they carry no website footer. Type your name and the date before you print, then fill in the rest by hand.

How to use them

1. Type your name, class and the date into the fill-in boxes.
2. Choose the form you need.
3. Print one copy per family, or two to a page where the form is cut apart.
4. Write in either language, or both.
5. Ask your school's interpreter or a Spanish-speaking colleague to check anything sensitive.

Classroom tips

• Ask a Spanish-speaking colleague to read the form before you send it the first time.
• Write short notes in simple English; families may translate with an app, and short sentences translate better.
• Offer the Spanish version without being asked, so no family has to request it.
• Keep a stack of each form in the front office as well as your room.

Notes on this page

• The Spanish on these forms follows common US school usage. A native speaker should review them before heavy use. Use your school's official translations for medical, legal and special education forms.
• These forms support your school's own procedures and do not replace them.
