This document discusses how a school transitioned to being paperless by using SharePoint and InfoPath to create online forms for academic review days. This eliminated over 1.5 million sheets of paper per year and saved on printing and postage costs. Students, parents, and teachers now fill out online forms during review meetings that are emailed and saved to SharePoint. This makes the data easier to access, analyze, and export for tracking student progress and targets.
