Forms and Documents

New for the 2025-2026 school year: We are excited to share that this fall we will be adding our middle schools to the Bound platform to facilitate the submission and management of documentation required for student-athletes to participate in their sport/activity. We introduced this process at the high school level last year.

All students in grades 7-12 participating in athletics must register in Bound. From the Bound platform, you will be able to:

  • see your family’s parent and student accounts
  • upload the required Iowa Medical Eligibility Form (see below for more information!)
  • sign-off on the required state concussion form
  • sign-off on the district code of conduct
  • register for the sports your athlete(s) intend to participate in this school year
  • and more!

Don’t forget your student’s physical!

Every year, all students who participate in IHSAA/IGHSAU athletics (grades 7-12) are required by law to have a current physical examination by a licensed healthcare provider.

The Iowa Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Examination includes a Medical History Questionnaire (p1-2), Physical Examination (p3) and Medical Eligibility Form (p4). ONLY the Medical Eligibility Form (p4) is required to be on file at the school for athletic participation.

Please DO NOT submit the medical history questionnaire or physical examination. ONLY SUBMIT the required Medical Eligibility Form.

Schools will no longer accept paper copies of the Medical Eligibility Form as part of the athletics registration process.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Athletics registration on Bound, as well as your annual school registration verification in Infinite Campus MUST be completed before your student can participate in their sport.

TO COMPLETE ATHLETICS REGISTRATION:

LOGIN TO BOUND:

  • Visit the Dubuque Community School District’s Bound Page.
  • Click the green Register for Activities button.
  • IMPORTANT: If you already have a Bound account from previously registering a student, purchasing a ticket or attending a camp, be sure to use this account.
  • If you DO NOT have an account, click Create Your Account Now.
  • Follow the steps to create your family account.

ONCE LOGGED IN:

You will see your students already in bound or have the option to add a new student.

  • FOR EXISTING STUDENTS, begin athletics registration by clicking the green Register button on your student’s Family Card. Follow the steps to register and upload any documents required.
  • TO ADD A NEW STUDENT, select the Add a Child option from your main Bound screen. Follow the steps to add your student into Bound, and then complete the athletics registration steps above.

NOTE: Be sure to register your child for ALL sports they intend to participate in during the upcoming school year as part of their Bound registration.

Students will always have the opportunity to register for sports that take place later in the school year, but registering now will assist the school activities office in making sure you receive the necessary information throughout the year, pertaining to your student’s desired activities.
