Union Elementary School District No. 62 Simplifies Parent Signatures with Blueink

From Manual Paperwork to a Streamlined Digital Process

Union Elementary School District No. 62 (UESD 62) serves K–8 students across three schools in the Tolleson area southwest of Phoenix, Arizona. The district focuses on academic excellence, family partnerships, and community involvement through programs that support both classroom learning and student well-being.

Before using Blueink, UESD 62 had no digital signature solution in place. Paper forms required manual collection and in-person follow-up, creating unnecessary delays and missing signatures.

“We have one page that we have to send out to parents for signatures,” explained Kelly Young, School Psychologist. “It just took too long to get everything completed.”

To improve turnaround and ensure documents were signed on time, Kelly recommended Blueink after using it successfully at her previous district.

Fast Setup and Easy Transition

The district adopted Blueink under the Business Pro Plan in December 2024. Blueink’s simple setup process and user-friendly interface allowed UESD 62 to get up and running before winter break.

Kelly shared that the transition was smooth. “I actually used it when I was at Camp Verde Elementary School. I’m familiar with using it, and that’s why I suggested it.”

Within days, the Blueink account was configured, user access was granted, and staff began sending forms electronically to parents and guardians.

Real-Time Efficiency for Parent Signatures

Before Blueink, staff spent hours tracking down missing or incomplete forms. Now, documents are sent and signed within minutes, even when parents are out of state.

“It helps when obtaining signatures when the people are out of state. We were able to get that signature,” said Young.

For a district focused on family partnerships, Blueink makes communication smoother and document management effortless. 

“I can send the same document to several people for signature,” Kelly said.

“Less time spent trying to get signatures,” she added.

This capability allows staff to handle large parent distributions quickly without printing, scanning, or resending forms.

Since adopting Blueink, Union Elementary School District No. 62 has eliminated paper forms and gained a faster, more reliable signature process. The platform has reduced administrative workload and improved turnaround times across all parent communications.
