If we all follow these rules, we can continue to have our athletes compete. Please don't be the reason we lose our season.

Sports are back but it will take community teamwork to continue to provide these special memories for our student-athletes. WE CAN DO IT FOR THE KIDS! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call or email the Athletic Director. We all want to make the best of this difficult situation, and we can do that by working together. | 
 COVID-19 Update: Feb. 2, 2021 I hope your new year is off to a great start. We continue to work hard at keeping our schools safe for your students and our staff. In order to keep face-to-face instruction, we need to be diligent in our efforts to make sure that staff and students are masked, that they are social distancing as much as possible, especially in our classrooms, wash hands frequently and use hand sanitizer, disinfect our classrooms and other areas nightly with an approved Covid-19 disinfectant. I want to thank all of our staff, from teachers to secretaries, to bus drivers, to paraeducators, to food service staff, to building administrations, and especially our maintenance staff. All of these folks in our school system deserve a big “thank you” for making sure we keep school safe for our students. I truly appreciate their efforts. Since we have been back in school on January 4th, we have had 21 cases of students being exposed to someone with a positive Covid-19 test and we also have had 7 students test positive for Covid-19. Once we are notified by parents/guardians or the county health department, we determine when the exposure or infection occurred and then tell families how many days they need to be quarantined at home. We have had great cooperation from our families on letting us know as soon as possible of exposures or of positive tests. We also have been diligent in getting the word out to families of children who may have come into contact with a Covid-19 positive student. This also includes notifying parents/guardians of students who may have ridden on the same school bus. We have done the best we can to notify as soon as possible and then ask parents/guardians to keep an eye out for symptoms as well and letting them make the choice to keep their child at home and go to distance learning. During all of this Covid-19 pandemic, we have not had one incident where a student or staff member has been infected at school. All of our contact tracings has been because students have come into contact at home, at friends or relative’s homes, or from other locations. We want to continue to make sure that schools are safe for students and staff, and that due to our efforts, we can continue to have face-to-face instruction. Vaccines are slow to get out so far. The county only gets so many doses of the vaccine and are still working on getting those people in Phase 1A and 1B vaccinated. Our hope is that as more vaccines roll out, we can begin to get staff who want a vaccine, vaccinated. We will continue to keep you posted on the progress of the vaccine rollout. Lastly, as you probably have heard, the Governor moved our region to Phase 2, which means that our traditional fall sports season is underway. As long as we stay in Phase 2, we will be able to have competition in Volleyball, Girls Soccer, Football, and Cross Country. In order to make this work, the state health department is requiring continued temperature-taking of all student-athletes as well as answering the health questions prior to each practice. There are also requirements for social distancing and the wearing of masks. I know this is challenging for our student-athletes, but if we are to make this work, we need to continue to follow the guidance of our health departments. The last thing we want to happen is in two weeks, have to go back to Phase 1 and not have students compete. It will take a concerted effort by all to make sure this doesn’t happen. Thanks to all of you for your assistance in helping to keep our schools open by keeping sick children home as well as alerting us when there is a positive Covid case or an exposure. Let’s continue to keep these lines of communications open, and together we can make this work! Jeff Davis, Superintendent-------------------------------- 2 de Febrero de 2021 Estimados Padres de Familia, Espero que este nuevo año haya tenido un gran comienzo. Seguimos trabajando duro para mantener nuestras escuelas seguras para sus estudiantes y nuestro personal. Para mantener la instrucción persona a persona, debemos ser diligentes en nuestros esfuerzos para asegurarnos de que el personal y los estudiantes estén siempre usando las mascaras, que estén a distancia social tanto como sea posible, especialmente en nuestras aulas, lavarnos las manos con frecuencia y desinfectante, desinfectamos nuestras aulas y otras áreas todas las noches con un desinfectante Covid-19 aprobado. Quiero agradecer a todo nuestro personal, desde maestros, secretarias, conductores de autobuses, para educadores, personal de servicio de alimentos, administraciones de edificios y especialmente a nuestro personal de mantenimiento. Todas estas personas en nuestro sistema escolar merecen un gran "gracias" por asegurarse de que mantengamos la escuela segura para nuestros estudiantes. Realmente aprecio sus esfuerzos. Desde que regresamos a la escuela el 4 de Enero, hemos tenido 21 casos de estudiantes expuestos a alguien con una prueba Covid-19 positiva y también hemos tenido 7 estudiantes con pruebas positivas de Covid-19. Una vez que los padres / tutores o el departamento de salud del condado nos notifican, determinamos cuándo ocurrió la exposición o la infección y luego les informamos a las familias cuántos días deben permanecer en cuarentena en casa. Hemos tenido una gran cooperación de nuestras familias para informarnos lo antes posible de exposiciones o pruebas positivas. También hemos sido diligentes en hacer correr la voz a las familias de niños que pueden haber entrado en contacto con un estudiante positivo de Covid-19. Esto también incluye notificar a los padres / tutores de los estudiantes que pueden haber viajado en el mismo autobús escolar. Hemos hecho todo lo posible para notificar lo antes posible y luego pedirles a los padres / tutores que también estén atentos a los síntomas y dejarles tomar la decisión de mantener a su hijo en casa e ir al aprendizaje a distancia. Durante toda esta pandemia de Covid-19, no hemos tenido un incidente en el que un estudiante o miembro del personal se haya infectado en la escuela. Todo nuestro rastreo de contactos se debe a que los estudiantes se han puesto en contacto en casa, en casas de amigos o parientes, o desde otros lugares. Queremos seguir asegurándonos de que las escuelas sean seguras para los estudiantes y el personal y que, gracias a nuestros esfuerzos, podamos seguir recibiendo instrucción presencial. Las vacunas estan en camino de una manera lenta. El condado solo recibe un número limitado de dosis de la vacuna y todavía está trabajando para vacunar a las personas en la Fase 1A y 1B. Nuestra esperanza es que a medida que se implementen más vacunas, podamos comenzar a vacunar al personal que desea una vacuna. Continuaremos manteniéndolo informado sobre el progreso del lanzamiento de la vacuna. Por último, como probablemente haya escuchado, el gobernador trasladó nuestra región a la Fase 2, lo que significa que nuestra tradicional temporada deportiva de otoño está en marcha. Mientras estemos en la Fase 2, podremos tener competencia en Voleibol, Fútbol Femenino, Fútbol Americano y Cross Country. Para que esto funcione, el Departamento de Salud del Estado requiere que todos los estudiantes atletas sigan tomando la temperatura y que respondan las preguntas de salud antes de cada práctica. También existen requisitos para el distanciamiento social y el uso de máscaras. Sé que esto es un desafío para nuestros estudiantes-atletas, pero si queremos que esto funcione, debemos continuar siguiendo la guía de nuestros Departamentos de Salud. Tenemos que tener las precauciones necesarias requeridas por la Estado. Lo último que queremos que suceda es que en dos semanas tengamos que volver a la Fase 1 y que los estudiantes no compitan. Se necesitará un esfuerzo concertado de todos nosotros para asegurarse de que esto no suceda. Gracias a todos ustedes por su ayuda para ayudar a mantener abiertas nuestras escuelas manteniendo a los niños enfermos en casa y alertándonos cuando hay un caso positivo de Covid o una exposición. ¡Sigamos manteniendo abiertas estas líneas de comunicación y juntos podemos hacer que esto funcione!
