When the school is in receipt of registration forms, parent/guardian will receive an email from FinalForms, our online forms and data management service, instructing them to follow the link to set up a login and password. Parent/Guardian will then complete the online forms. The FinalForms link can also be found on our website, vwcs.net, under Parents - FinalForms.
The student will not be officially registered until the parent/guardian completes the above process.
If you have any questions regarding Student Registration, please do not hesitate to call the school.
