Arcadia Local Schools Families,This is a new process for our school district. Your attention to the information below is required to make beginning of year information EASIER for all. Arcadia Schools has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign all annual enrollment and athletic participation forms for your students online. FinalForms saves data from year-to-year and season-to-season, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! (Only if you have a change in address, phone, etc)If we have your email on file, you should have received an email from FinalForms instructing you to set up your parent account. Then you will able to view the information that we currently have on your student(s) and make changes as necessary. You will not be receiving the packet of forms at the beginning of the year as you normally do. This takes the place of those!If you don’t receive an email from FinalForms, the district may need to update your email. Please email your new email address to Mr. McKee at [email protected] along with your students name(s).FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time. Once you have completed your registration online, you will simply be asked to review and update your information at the beginning of each school year to verify the information is current and sign the forms. You can also change information (address, phone, emergency medical, etc.) as it happens.Your student(s), grades 7-12, will also be emailed (to their school email account) instructions to register for FinalForms and then can sign their sections of the forms as well.Only ONE parent/guardian will need to register and use FinalForms. We will be communicating through your email for anything outstanding as well as special announcements. Please register at – https://arcadia-oh.finalforms.com now and electronically complete ALL forms! For grades 7-12: If your student is in or will be in a sport this year, please indicate that on that students account. All sports forms will then be available for you to complete. The actual sports physical paperwork should be handed in to the Athletic Director. Thank you for your assistance in streamlining our paperwork processes at Arcadia Schools!Questions?

Arcadia Local Schools will be starting everyday instruction at school for all students starting Oct. 12th. As we move forward our district will utilize local and area data to determine the type of instruction that occurs for Arcadia students. There are several other county schools that will also be shifting to 4 or 5 days, all in over the next several weeks. We are all working with the county health department to make this adjustment to provide a safe learning environment while increasing instructional time for students. The goal of this change is to base Arcadia’s instructional options on Arcadia’s data. This will require the Arcadia Schools Community to continue making responsible decisions about keeping students home when they are sick and limiting exposure from outside our community. Local trends and data that will be used in determining Arcadia’s instructional options include, but are not limited to:Positive test results for students and staffNumber of quarantine staff and students and reason for quarantineDaily attendance and number of students out due to flu like symptoms (possible COVID)Millstream dataNeighboring districts dataCounty trendsLocal community trendsIf we need to go to all online instruction, you will be given advanced notice using the phone system and the website before the change occurs. This will allow students, staff and parents to prepare and plan for an initial shift to all online instruction to help break the cycle of spreading the illness. Because COVID and Flu symptoms are very similar, and understanding that COVID can be asymptomatic, we feel that an online instructional option to stop the spread is the best option to reduce contact with other people.Please keep in mind, with all our students here at the same time, it will be very difficult and sometimes even impossible to social distance. Because of this, we will be forced to rely even more heavily on the need to wash hands, use sanitizer and wear a mask. We thank you for your vigilance leading up to this point, which has given us the opportunity to come back 5 days. We ask for your continued work to help reduce the possibility we will have to change from this model moving forward. We thank you in advance for all your support and encouragement of our young ones to do just that.Thank you, Arcadia School Re-Opening TeamClick the more link to download the above letter.
