Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, every Ovid-Elsie school will use FinalForms, an online forms and data management service, to complete all enrollment paperwork digitally.
If you or your child have been involved in athletics over the past few years you have interacted with Final Forms . We will now be utilizing FinalForms for academic paperwork as well as athletics. This allows you to complete and sign school forms for your students. The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data from year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time.
You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update.
Look for an email from Final Forms and click on the Parent Playbook ( https://aptg.co/0DvS22 ) to get started. If you require any support during the process, scroll to the page bottom and click “Get Help”.
