Updated February 9.

The Bluffton Exempted Village Schools has announced the implementation of FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows families to complete and sign all forms online.

The new service will streamline the paperwork process beginning with kindergarten registration.

Bluffton Schools Alert issued by email at 3:42 p.m. on January 31, 2022:

The Ohio Department of Health has declared it impractical for schools to contact trace all students who had contact with a positive case [of COVID].

Therefore, our offices will no longer automatically call every parent of a student who was contact traced via seating charts of a positive case.

However, if a parent would still like to be called due to a close contact of a positive case with their child, then contact the office and you will continue to be called if contact traced.

The Village of Bluffton has announced the following public meetings for January and February 2022. The meetings will be held at the Bluffton Town Hall, unless noted.

Please contact Jesse Blackburn at [email protected] for Zoom links.

Ordinance Committee – Friday, January 28 at noon, via Zoom.

Council of the Whole – Monday, January 31 at 7:00 p.m.

Pathway Board – Thursday, February 3 at noon.

Tree Commission – Tuesday, February 8 at 7:00 p.m.

All council members, administrators, and employees were in their places at 7:00 p.m. sharp as Mayor Rich Johnson does not start meetings late. After the Pledge of Allegiance, Council approved the last meeting's minutes and payment of the last two weeks' bills.

Several committees met jointly in recent days, as important matters often require input from different angles. 

Kindergarten Screening for the Bluffton Exempted Village Schools is scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 21 and Friday, April 22. 

If your child will be entering kindergarten in Fall 2022, you will need to fill out the form linked HERE to provide necessary information for the incoming student.
