Athletic paperwork will be collected during Open Enrollment. All students participating in sports must have a KSHSAA physical and signed Consent Form on file. Your KSHSAA physical must be completed/dated after May 1, 2019. All other athletic paperwork will need to be completed online through your Skyward account.
