Students and our community remain safe.
School can remain open.
Activities can continue.
Below are the current protocols and restrictions as we move

Fan attendance for extra curricular events is limited to 10 spectators per player/coach. Schools will be asked to provide a spectator list for each participant before the competition.
Cheerleaders may attend.
Six feet of separation.
Indoor gatherings will be at 50% capacity.
Fans should not arrive before the admission gates open and to exit the facilities immediately after the contest.
Concessions will be offered at this point.
No outside food or drink will be allowed.
Masks will be required to be worn AT ALL TIMES for all spectators at indoor events.
Home fans will use the North Bleachers and Away fans will use the South Bleachers in the East Gym
In the West gym, Home fans will sit on the South side of the bleachers and Away fans will sit on the North side of the bleachers
At the end of the contests fans will leave and not gather on the gym floor to mingle with other parents or participants.
