FinalForms allows you to complete and e-sign enrollment, back-to-school, and athletic participation forms for your student(s). Here are some highlights:

• FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and 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 children, saving you time.
• You may review your data at any time to verify that it is current.
• You will be required to e-sign your forms once per year and after any update.

Currently Enrolled Students: If your child(ren) is already enrolled at Washington Court House City Schools, and you have a valid parent email address on file, then you should receive an email prompting you to confirm and complete your registration.  Simply follow the steps below to get started:
