FinalForms Information:

The Nixa School District is excited to announce that the Nixa Public Schools Athletic Department has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows users to complete and sign athletic participation forms for students, including uploading new physicals. 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.

Since physicals are good for two years, the athletic department will assist in uploading any current physicals to the system, but we cannot complete this task until each parent creates an account for their student(s). For new physicals, we will no longer be collecting hard copies of physicals, since parents will be able to take pictures of them and upload those to FinalForms. Please check with your coach/sponsor if you want to check on the status of your current physical date.

If users require any support during the process, scroll to the page bottom and click "Use Support" or contact the athletic department.

We are asking that all junior high parents of athletes use FinalForms and complete their account by (May 23 for the first day of camps for girls junior high basketball & junior volleyball) or May 31 in order to participate in junior high boys basketball, junior high girls/boys cross country & junior high summer activities.

Please use the attached flyer here or scan the QR code in the flyer to start the registration process.

Users can also visit the final forms link here.
