We are very excited to announce that the Kelso 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 that 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.
Students may registration for ALL sports at once. Check the sports your student may be participating in during the school year.
You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update.
ALL forms require a parent/guardian signature and in some cases a student signature. Registration is NOT complete if all forms are not submitted. The last form “WIAA PPE Physical (for Physicians) requires a signature if your student has an up to date physical on file or are planning to get one prior to participating. Administration will enter the date of exam and you will be automatically alerted when it is nearing the expiration date.
Sports fees will be paid as they have been in the past. Visit KHS website, https://www.kelso.wednet.edu/o/khs and click on pay fees/fines. This will direct you to TouchBase Signin. Your User Name and Password are the same login used for Skyward Family Access.
We are asking that ALL parents of athletes use FinalForms.
Click on the Parent Playbook (attached) to get started in FinalForms. If you require any support during the process, scroll to the page bottom and click “Use Support”.
Please register at: https://kelso-wa.finalforms.com/ and follow the prompts to create your account, create your students and sign your forms. This link can be found at gohilanders.com and clicking on the “more” tab.
