As you probably already know, SCSD has moved all enrollment packets to digital format through an app called Final Forms. Parents must have a viable email address/account in order to receive an email to set up an account with the Final Forms app. We are currently missing many enrollment packets for students at SCES. Our administrative team is currently in the process of contacting parents who are missing forms for their student's enrollment packet. Please contact the school asap if you need help with this process or to complete this packet.
