Athletic parents - if you are still trying to complete the online registration and having issues, most of the forms involved will just be an electronic signature- so no upload. The actual "preparticipation physical exam form" and the "health history form" will need to be uploaded together after taking a picture of them or scanning them. If you have questions please reach out to Mr. Schoenefeld via email (galen.schoenefeld@k12.sd.us) or call him at the school. We have many who have successfully submitted all their signatures and the form. Thanks for your patience with the process.

All athletes in grades 7-12 are required to have an annual athletic physical completed prior to them starting practice for the 24-25 sports seasons. If your son or daughter will be participating in athletics and they haven't had a physical, yet, for this year, please get one scheduled. All physical paperwork should be uploaded on Bound. Please see my previous post for that information. Thanks - Mr. Schoenefeld
Impact testing- reminder that all students in grades 7, 9 & 11 planning on participating in athletics during the 24-25 school year will need to have an impact test done. We will have testing at the high school in Viborg on August 6th. 11th grade at 12:30pm; 7th grade at 1:30pm and 9th grade at 2:30pm. Any athlete that had a diagnosed concussion during the 23-24 school year will also have to have a test done. If you have questions contact Mr. Schoenefeld.
We will be switching to online registration and submission of the annual athletic physical paperwork for activities. Registration can be completed on a computer or mobile device. It may take a little time at first, but will be very efficient each time after. Please see the three documents for instructions related to online registration in the "Activity Registration" folder in the documents section linked here: https://www.viborg-hurley.k12.sd.us/documents/activity-registration/663536 IF you have questions you can ask Mr. Schoenefeld or use the green "B" on the Bound site to chat with a Bound representative.
