Welcome to Holy Name, Class of 2028!

FinalForms is Holy Name's online forms and data management service. To begin registering your student at Holy Name, you must create an account as soon as possible. 

Please register at https://holynameparmaheights-oh.finalforms.com/ and follow the prompts to create your account, create your student's account, and sign your forms. 

We are asking that the first 3 form sections be completed by the Welcome Meeting on Thursday, February 27. These sections are: Contact Information, Demographic Information, and Additional New Student Information. Feel free to complete as much as possible, but in order to register for classes at your student's guidance counselor appointment, the 3 sections listed above must be completed. 

Please reference the following documents for further instruction (included in your acceptance package):
FinalForms Introductory Letter
Parent Playbook - New Enrollment

*Note: If you have a current Holy Name student and are already using FinalForms, please do not create a new account. You will only need to 'add' your new student to an existing account.

**Note: Your student will receive a student account in August at Freshmen Orientation. Please do not worry about entering a student email at this time.

To hold your seat in the Class of 2029, a $200 non-refundable registration fee is due by Tuesday, April 1.

If you would like to pay online with credit card, you will do so through your Final Forms account. Please allow a few days after creating your account for the registration fee payment portal to be made available. 

If you prefer to pay with cash, check (made payable to Holy Name High School), or money order, you may mail the fee or drop off your payment during school hours or bring it with you to the Welcome Meeting or your student's guidance counselor appointment.

They are very excited to meet you and your family!

Family Welcome Meeting
Thursday, February 27
6:00 - 7:30 PM
Holy Name's Auxiliary Gymnasium 

Hear from Holy Name's administration on what to expect as your student enters high school. This meeting is intended to help answer any questions you have and set you up for success. 

Please RSVP here by Friday, February 14 and to let us know if you can attend and your student's t-shirt size.
Please fill this out even if you cannot attend so we have your student's t-shirt size!

If you are unable to attend, we will send you a packet via mail after the meeting.

The Team Shop will be open prior to the Welcome Meeting. 

If your student took a high school accredited world language class everyday during their 8th grade year, Holy Name will transcript the class and place your student appropriately. To confirm your child's placement, they may be asked to take a foreign language placement exam.

If your student took world language on a weekly basis in grade school and would like to place into a 2nd year world language class at Holy Name, they must take a world language placement exam.

All world language placement exams will be administered after your family's registration appointment with their counselor. 

EdChoice Expansion Scholarship Details

EdChoice Expansion is another possibility for Holy Name students who do not live in the city of Cleveland, and who are not assigned to a public high school designated on the EdChoice Traditional List.

EdChoice Expansion Scholarships are awarded based on a family's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). The state will determine a NEW applicant’s award by using the 2023 1040 tax form (pg. 1, line 11). For renewal applicants, the previous percentage calculated by the state will be used to determine the renewal award amount if the income is not re-submitted (unless the family qualifies for low income status, in which case the income verification form must be completed annually).

If a family’s household income is at or below 450 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, they will be awarded the maximum scholarship amount of $8,408.

The state has also approved a sliding scale based on a family's gross adjusted income. If a family’s household income is at or above 451 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, the student’s scholarship award will be prorated. This means that ALL families that are not Cleveland Scholarship or EdChoice Traditional Scholarship recipients, will be eligible for state funding that will be applied to a student's tuition.

Here are the Federal Poverty Levels (FPL) with Gross Annual Amounts. 

Most importantly, here are the Estimated EdChoice Expansion Award Amounts by FPL Ratio. 

Those families whose household gross income are at 201% or higher than the Federal Poverty Guidelines must pay the remaining tuition balance. EdChoice Expansion recipients that have a household gross income of 200 percent or lower qualify for low-income, and Holy Name cannot charge the remaining tuition balance (other fees are required to be paid to Holy Name).

Holy Name utilizes FinalForms to streamline the state scholarship process. The parent/guardian will log into his/her FinalForms account to access the state scholarship information. The documents must be submitted on FinalForms as well.

The parent/guardian will log into his/her FinalForms account, be in 2024-2025 school year mode, and go to the Cleveland/EdChoice Scholarship Application link to access the state scholarship information. The completed documents must be submitted/uploaded on FinalForms as well. Please label all documents with your student's name before uploading them to the “Scholarship Application” tab on Final Forms (ex. Jim Smith Application).

New families (incoming freshman and transfer students) will receive details on how to login to FinalForms upon acceptance to Holy Name.

Please submit all of the required state scholarship information by Thursday, May 30, 2024. 

• 1. Completed application. The person listed as the PRIMARY PARENT/GUARDIAN must be the one to sign the application. Parents have two options for signatures: Physically signing the applications or using a qualified e-signature with third party verification. Typed signatures are not acceptable.
  • 2024-2025 Request Form for those who have never previously received an EdChoice Expansion Scholarship
  • 2024-2025 Renewal Form for Returning Applicants
•  
• 2. Current (within the last 90 days) utility bill showing both the service address (top of bill) and billing address (bottom of bill)
  • Acceptable Proof of Residency Documents

  • Needed for new applicants (make sure the student’s name on their birth certificate matches the name written on the application)
  • NOT needed for renewal applicants

       4. Custody Agreement Documents signed by a judge or magistrate (if applicable)

       5. All who submit EdChoice Expansion Requests must also fill out an 2024-2025 Income Verification Form. It is the family's                       
           responsibility to verify its income with the state using the online OHID portal. In other words, this should NOT be uploaded into
           FinalForms. Here is an EdChoice Expansion Income Verification Helpful Tips Sheet.

           The state of Ohio determines a family's eligibility and scholarship amount. A student's application will not be reviewed until the ODE has
           received both the application and all income verification documents. 

           EdChoice Expansion Renewal Applicants only need to fill out the income verification form if:
              A.  A family’s 2023 AGI (located on page 1, line 11 of the 1040 form) is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. “Low income status”
                   MUST be determined yearly via the income verification process.
              B. A family’s 2023 AGI has decreased from last year’s submission and a new award amount would be calculated by the state. 

We strongly encourage you to fill the Income Verification Form out using the online portal that can be found at https://safe.ode.state.oh.us/portal. To learn how to access the Scholarship Income Verification System, view this quick guide for help: ODE: How to Access Online Income Verification Syste

If you are not able to upload your information online, you are still able to mail the following low income verification form to the Ohio Department of Education: 2024-2025 Income Verification Form. However, we do not recommend this option and encourage you to use the online portal if at all possible.

As long as the family income is once again at or below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, EdChoice Expansion renewal recipients do not have to pay the remaining tuition balance after the $8,408 scholarship is applied.
