**ATTENTION COACHES,  ATHLETES & PARENTS
NEW SYSTEM FOR PAPERWORK**

IHSAA Pre-Participation forms are required and must be dated by a medical professional AFTER April 1, 2023.   

Remember – if you want to play – don’t delay!

Southwest welcomes a NEW system for all forms necessary
to play or participate this 2023-2024 school year
FINALFORMS

We are very excited to announce that the Athletic Departments of Woodside and Summit Middle Schools have 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.

With your own individual access, 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.

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”.

We are asking that ALL parents of athletes use FinalForms.  Homestead High School uses the same management system and the information will automatically be transferred after 8th grade.

Please register at:  southwestallen-in.finalforms.com

and follow the prompts to create your account, create your students and sign your forms.

THANK YOU for your assistance in streamlining our paperwork processes at Woodside Middle School.  

Physicals must be performed after 4/1/23.  Make sure to fill out every page completely - including parent/student signatures, insurance provider and member/policy ID#, and student info. The medical professional who performs the physical must also sign the form (stamps are not allowed) and include their address, phone, license # AND date of exam. 

IHSAA Rule 3-10 requires that "Between April 1 and student’s first Practice in preparation for interschool athletic participation, the student shall have a physical examination by, or shall provide certification from, a physician holding an unlimited license to practice medicine, a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant, who shall clear the student for athletic participation using the current IHSAA Pre‐Participation Evaluation form."

Walk-in physicals are available at the MinuteClinic inside CVS at Getz and Illinois Road.

• The physician's (PA or LPN) signature must be hand-written. NO signature stamps will be accepted!
• The physician's (PA or LPN) signature AND license number must be on page 2.
• If we receive an IHSAA physical with a stamped doctor's signature, it will not be accepted and considered invalid.

Parents and students must sign at the bottom of page 1 and on page 4 of the physical.
