ANNUAL RE-REGISTRATION FOR RETURNING STUDENTS 

South Central families can complete annual back-to-school and athletics forms online using FinalForms. This link can also be used for mid-year updates to student information. 

Account Creation

Student signatures: Grades 7-12 students may use their district-assigned email address to sign into FinalForms to complete the student signature portion of the forms. Students should use the "Never logged in" or "Forgot password" options to obtain a link to create a new password. A district-assigned password is not set for students.

Missing Parent Email Addresses: A parent within each household should have received a FinalForms invitation. Families who did not receive an invitation may not have an email address on file. If you encounter any problems, please contact the building secretary.

Athletic Forms

Our South Central Athletics Packet is now incorporated within FinalForms online forms. In addition to being able to submit all of the required OHSAA documents, student health information will carry over onto the printable OHSAA Physical questionnaire packet that families can take to the student's sports physical. In future years, families will need only to update the previous year's content to complete the requirements.

FinalForms will then send you an e-mail with a link you must click on to confirm your account and set up your password. You may then click on the incomplete forms button and complete all of the forms for your student(s).

If you require assistance completing the online registration packet, please contact the appropriate building secretary. Your registration is complete when you have completed your forms and have completed steps 1 and 2.
