All parents of students who attend Bloom-Carroll Local School District are required each year to complete and sign forms in Final Forms. You can access Final Forms by clicking the Final Forms link on the right side of this page. You must have this process completed prior to your screening appointment. If you have an existing Final Forms account with Bloom-Carroll Local Schools, you should log into that account and add your incoming Kindergarten student and complete all required forms, including signatures.

Once you have logged into Final Forms successfully, click on the blue register student button (make sure you have selected the 2024-2025 school year, otherwise you will need to complete this process again).
