The West Shore School District Athletic Department is excited to announce that we are moving to a digital format for all sports physical paperwork!

Moving forward, all athletic physical forms must be submitted online through Rank One. Paper copies will no longer be accepted. All sections in Rank One must be completed online. If your student already had their physical done at the school or turned in a hard copy(pages 5 and 6), our staff will upload it for you.

For more details, you can visit the district website.

We have also provided step-by-step guidance here: https://scribehow.com/o/Km045OD9T_isacvgduDKRA/viewer/How_to_Complete_Student_Athletic_Forms_on_Rank_One__F6DNH-KRTAGe9PCkr8PYQA.

Important deadlines for completing Physical Paperwork for the 2026-2027 school year:

• Football & Golf - August 3, 2026
• All Other Fall Sports - August 10, 2026
• Winter Sports - November 13, 2026
• Spring Sports - February 22, 2027

**Any athlete that submits any of the Physical Paperwork after the listed deadline each season is not guaranteed to be cleared for the first day of the sports season. Athletes will NOT be cleared to participate in sports until all Physical Paperwork forms are completed, submitted and approved.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we transition to this new, more efficient system!
