PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Permission Slip Pro. Teachers sign up and create a trip with title, date, location, description, cost per student, chaperone needs, deadline and a roster of student first names with last initial.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Create a parent form reached by a share link: parent picks their child from the roster, confirms emergency contact and medical notes, types their name as a signature, and optionally volunteers as chaperone. Store each signed form with a timestamp.
