Hello OE High School & Middle School parents!
School portraits are scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, August 20th. If you have not already submitted an order please use the link below to order your school portrait package.
ALL ORDERS MUST BE SUBMITTED ONLINE.
This is a link to take advantage of our special Prepaid Package pricing (BEST VALUE). Please submit your order on or before your child's scheduled picture day. All orders will be processed and the picture packages will be delivered back to the school about 3 weeks after picture day. If you choose not to take advantage of this special prepaid package pricing you will receive information when the prepaid packages are delivered to the school with an opportunity to submit a reorder.
There will be no order forms sent home. If you would rather not submit an online order please call the studio 989-227-8441 and we will take your order over the phone.
NOTE: The school picture that you will see on the ordering site is a sample picture not of your child.
Directions: Simply search for your student by name. You can type either their first or last name and you will see student names pop up. If you have multiple students please submit separate orders for each child. If you do not see your students name, choose "New Person" and add their information then click the "prepay for photos button"
You DO NOT need to send the printed receipt to school. We will already have a record of your payment!

Dear Ovid Elsie Area School Parents/Guardians:
Once again the Old NewsBoys Association of Greater Lansing will be providing footwear to students who qualify. A request for student footwear will need to be filled out and returned to Mrs. Alexander at either Leonard or E. E. Knight Elementary. Families are encouraged to complete the footwear form as soon as possible.
Please include all school age children from the same family on one request, even if the children attend different schools. Families may only request footwear from the Old Newsboys through one agency. Children qualify for footwear if they receive free and reduced lunch.
Footwear request forms are being sent home this week! If needed, please contact me at Leonard or E. E. Knight Elementary (989-834-2271 x1323) or by email at: morgan.alexander@ovidelsie.org
Thank you very much.
Morgan Alexander
Elementary Counselor

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”.
