Fully paperless is a slogan. Less paper is a practical goal. The aim is to remove the paper that adds work, and keep what the law or habit requires.
This article suggests where to start.
Start with registers
Digital attendance removes a daily paper task.
Digitize fees
Receipts and dues on screen replace ledgers.
Digitize student records
Personal and medical details in one record.
Digitize marks and reports
Results generated from recorded marks.
Keep what you must
Keep required documents on paper, and record where they are.
Build trust
Show staff that the digital record is accurate and current.
Archive properly
A digital archive for grades and transcripts keeps records retrievable.
A worked example
A school stops using paper attendance registers, generates receipts from the system and produces report cards from recorded marks. It keeps signed admission forms and legal documents on paper, with a note in each student's record saying where the original is. Paper falls sharply, and nothing that must be kept is lost.
What to keep on paper
Anything the law or your authority requires in original form. Record its location digitally so it can be found.
