New OSD Sports Clearance Process: FinalForms
We are excited to announce that the Olympia School District has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students.
The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data from season to season and year to year, meaning 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. Visit your students school sports clearance page linked below for step by step directions.
To register for sports online, please visit the Sports Clearance Process webpage on each of the four middle school and two comprehensive high school websites. Direct links to those pages, including instructions for completing the online sports clearance process, are below:
