Athletics & Activities News
West High Red and Blue Night
Dear West High Activity Participants,
In an ongoing effort to simplify the pre-participation process for our students, parents, and coaches, our office is utilizing an automated paperless document collection source called Privit. The good news is that your account will only need to be updated with changes from year to year, not recreated. After parents/students have completed their Privit profile and uploaded their physical, students will still need to monitor their clearance status in PRIVIT in order to be granted access to practice.
Returning Users:
Some families have already created a Privit profile for the past (2021-2022) school year. If that is the case you will need to log back in to your Privit profile to update your information for the 2022-2023 school year, upload (or restore from archives) a valid physical (Dated after July 1, 2021) and join the appropriate athletic team(s).
Important Note: ****If your physical is dated July 1, 2021 or later, it will be good for the entire 22-23 school year. If your Physical is dated before July 1, 2021 you will need to upload a new physical (dated after July 1, 2021) for the upcoming school year.****
New Users:
If you are new to Privit you will need to log on to Privit and create your profile. In Privit, you will create the parent account, add your student(s) to the account, complete all sections, upload the annual physical signed by an appropriate medical provider clearing the athlete for participation, and finally join appropriate teams.
***To access more detailed information and specific instructions regarding Privit, go to https://www.parkwayschools.net/Page/9872 and navigate to resources section. There you will find a link titled, “Privit Information”.
Thank you as always for being a partner in athletics.
