Blended Learning & Open Enrollment
Residency Affidavit

We appreciate you and your family being here and we thank you for trusting us with your child's education. Galion City Schools uses Final Forms, a web-based software to eliminate the use of paper forms.  This requires each student's parent/guardian to have an account, in which an active email is required. Within Final Forms you will complete all contact, emergency medical, transportation, athletic, and enrollment information.

If you don't have a working email, one will be provided to you during your registration appointment.
