Often times there is more than one-way to accomplish your goals. The best situations evolve when people make thoughtful decisions and even consider an alternate path. Your child’s education should be no different.

For too many years, Danbury has been the “best kept secret” in Northwest Ohio, but no longer. Did you know that in Ohio, open enrollment allows a student to attend school, tuition-free, in a district other than where his or her parents reside? The registration window for Open Enrollment at Danbury Local Schools typically runs from March through the summer. I recommend you explore this opportunity and consider allowing Danbury Local Schools to prepare your child to be successful in all of his/her future endeavors.

As you know, today’s students must use the latest technology to research information and communicate it to those not only around the corner, but around the globe. Danbury Local Schools provides each student with opportunities to integrate technology as a part of his/her overall education. This includes a Chromebook for every student in grades Kindergarten through twelve.

With only 500 students, Danbury is small enough to ensure every student gets the personal attention they need from caring and devoted teachers, yet receives amazing educational opportunities.

We pride ourselves in offering a broad array of academic, extra-curricular and athletic opportunities for all students, such as:

• Learning 21^st century skills in high school AND earning college credit
• Playing on a variety of athletic teams
• Participating in visual and performing arts 
• Joining many different clubs and service organizations

So, whatever academic endeavor, sports team, program or club your child has an interest in, at Danbury, we encourage him/her to give it a shot— that is what learning is really about!

Danbury Local Schools is committed to providing your child a personalized yet well-rounded educational experience. This is our top priority as we prepare today’s students to be tomorrow’s leaders.

I encourage you to contact Danbury Local Schools at 419-798-5185 to learn more about Open Enrollment.  We’d love to schedule a visit so you and your child can see everything we can offer!

FinalForms at Danbury
Danbury Local School District has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service that has replaced paper registration forms. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign enrollment, back-to-school and 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.

**All Danbury parents and students are now able to register using FinalForms.  Please complete your back-to-school registration forms before the first day of school**

We are currently collecting all general back-to-school forms for all students using the FinalForms system.  
 
For detailed instructions on how to get started in FinalForms, please see the Parent Playbook below.  While using FinalForms, you can request support at any time by clicking the "Get Help" button at the bottom of every page.
