IHSA Update - 8/6/20

As we approach the start of the "fall" season, I want to provide some updates on the fall sports and other timelines for activities as we finish up the summer contact day period and transition into the school year.

Return to School Plan Update July 23rd

Since early May, the Return to School Committee has met over 70 times to plan for the Fall 2020 return to school plan.

Stage 2: Return to Play

We have received confirmation through ISBE that the Governor’s office has approved the following: Students participating in physical activity outside while social distancing are NOT required to wear a mask. The changes to the Phase 4 guidance are to be implemented as soon as possible. The "approval" of these changes is a formality as we have been directed by IDPH to implement these changes. The changes will eliminate scrimmages in sports that require physical contact. (Basketball, Football, Lacrosse, Soccer, Volleyball, Water Polo and Wrestling)

Stage 1: Return to Play

Please see the message below and attached documents from the IHSA, regarding Stage 1: Return to Play. Also, attached is a mandatory waiver form that needs to be completed for each student participating in conditioning.
