Winter Athletes Requirements:
To allow our students to participate consistently, we are requiring all students to participate in weekly pooled testing. Pooled testing takes place during period 4 on the first day of the week. Juniors and Seniors who do not have a period 4 class can see Nurse Jana to be tested during that day. Athletes missing pool testing will not be eligible to participate until the following pooled testing week.
Further Supporting Rational
1 of 3 safeguards that we can guarantee that all are participating with.
Step to provide safeguards to students who are not involved in athletics.
Step to allow us to have fans in the stands at venues we run.
All Athletes who did not participate in a fall sport are required to fill out the green form or form A to participate. (Located on our website or at the main office)
All Athletes are required to have a sports physical on file – 1 physical per 4 years of High School
Athletes and coaching staff must remain universally masked at all times, including on the bus, during the competition, and in locker rooms. (swim is an exception to this rule while in the pool)
All athletes and coaching staff are reminded to step away at least 6-feet when lowering the mask to drink or eat and to regularly wash and sanitize hands.
