Bowling Green City Schools is excited to announce that we are moving to an online student enrollment and registration platform called FinalForms. Parents will now use FinalForms to complete and sign enrollment, back-to-school, and athletic forms for your students. FinalForms saves information from year-to-year and pre-populates student information wherever possible, so parents will not enter the same information twice. Parents can review and update their information at any time and will be required to sign school forms once per year and after any update.

The enrollment process will involve both online forms and paper forms.
