Kindergarten Screening Information
Kindergarten
Kindergarten screening will take place June 1-3, 2021 at Bloom-Carroll Primary School, located at 69 S. Beaver Street, Carroll, OH. Children must be 5 years of age on or before August 1st of the current year to be eligible to attend Kindergarten.  This screening is only available for residents of the Bloom-Carroll Local School District.  Appointments for screening can be scheduled April 6th through May 20th at 5:00 p.m.
 
Screening appointments can be made online by visiting our website at www.bloomcarroll.org and clicking on Bulldog Portal, Parent Resources, Online-Parent Teacher Conference Scheduler. Select 2021-2022 Kindergarten Screening Appointment to begin scheduling your appointment. Choose an available date and time and then click sign up.  Once all required information has been completed, including a valid email address, click on the "Sign Up for Conference" button at the bottom of the page. You will receive a confirmation email with your appointment information. Please keep this information in a secure place. In the event you need to change or cancel your screening appointment, you will need this information. We also use this system for Parent-Teacher conference scheduling throughout the school year.   A complete guide for scheduling Parent-Teacher conferences can be found here.  

All parents of students who attend Bloom-Carroll Local School District are required each year to complete and sign forms in Final Forms.  You must have this process completed prior to your screening appointment. If you have children who already attend school in the district, please log into your Final Forms account, add your incoming Kindergarten student and complete all required forms, including signatures.  This is also a good time to annually sign forms for your other children who attend. The window for signing forms in Final Forms will open on April 26th. 

If you are a new parent to the district you will need to register for an account in Final Forms.  This can be done by visiting our website at www.bloomcarroll.org and clicking on Bulldog Portal, Parent Resources, Final Forms.  Once there, click on the "New Account" button under the parent icon. Complete the information on the following page, including a valid email address and then click register.  You will now need to log into your email account and look for an email from Final Forms. This email will contain important information on how to finish setting up your account, including creating your password.  

Once you have logged into Final Forms successfully, click on the blue register student button (make sure you have selected the 2021-2022 school year, otherwise you will need to complete this process again). Please fill out all information, except Student Email.  Please make sure you select Kindergarten as the grade for the 2021-2022 school year.
 
Once all information is correct, click Create Student. A step-by-step guide can be found by clicking here.
