The spring season is just around the corner for MS/HS activities at West Central. If you haven't already registered your child on Bound, please do so at your earliest convenience. If your child has previously participated in an activity, you should only need to register them in the spring activity. If this is their first activity of the year, you will need to go through the whole registration process. If they are playing a sport, please make sure they have a current physical form (both pages) uploaded on the Bound website. I have attached the registration directions, if needed. If you have any questions, please contact the high school, 605-528-6236.
