Activity Registration for the 2024-25 school year is live!
Uploading physicals and signing necessary forms to participate in activities will all take place on Bound. This will allow the school to house all information on the site making the information much more accessible for all involved. It also saves us all the stress of sending a student to school with an important document hoping that they turn it in!
Additionally, please see the graphic below or the help document linked that will walk you through getting started on the process of registering your students. Please note that if you register that does NOT mean your child has to go out for that sport or activity. I would encourage you to register your son or daughter for all sports they are interested in, if they change their mind we can clean it up on the back end.

Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Hamilton (thamilton@underwoodschools.org) with any questions.
