We wanted to provide an update and clarification regarding the plans for athletic events this week. We understand the importance of athletics and the desire to participate in competition, but will always remain cautious to ensure the safety of our student-athletes and personnel.
Please note the following:
We will review the forecast each day for updates and will continue to meet with athletic directors at the end of each day to make decisions for the following day.
We have not made a determination regarding any outdoor activities on Thursday or Friday. We will continue to adhere to the guidelines from IHSA and monitor the weather forecasts from the National Weather Service . August 22 Update.pdf
The athletic directors will collaborate with coaches to provide daily updates to students and parents.
Currently teams may conduct indoor practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, but outdoor practices are not permitted regardless of the time of day. We will make a determination on Wednesday evening regarding outdoor practices for Thursday and Friday.
Thank you for understanding as the health and safety of our students and staff remains a top priority.
Sincerely,
Dr. Shelia E. Boozer
Superintendent
