Home Athletic Events COVID-19 Protocols

Due to the COVID pandemic, the following guidelines will be in place for our home athletic events until further notice. These guidelines will help ensure that our athletes are able to participate in athletic events throughout the season in the safest manner possible. Please be aware that these guidelines may be changed at any given time so that our athletes, coaches, fans and community can be provided with the safest environment possible.

• Although it isn’t mandated, all spectators are encouraged to wear a mask while in attendance and to practice social distancing.
• All home games will have a maximum of 25% gym capacity.
• **Updated January 4, 2021** There will be a pass list for all spectators. In order to get into the game, your name must be on the pass list. This list will be sent to the opposing team and they are responsible for providing the names for their spectators. If there are extra spots available on the pass list, then anyone can call the school and request their name to be put onto the list.
• All spectators age 6 and up must be on the pass list for entrance.
• Admission is $3 for Adults and $2 for Students. Season passes will be accepted but your name has to be on the pass list in order to enter.
• There will be water coolers available and we encourage visiting teams to bring their own water bottles.
• We will provide a full concessions stand for spectators.
• All home events will be livestreamed on our school’s YouTube channel (click this link to visit the YouTube channel). Fans can view games from their smartphone, tablet, computer or other device with internet access.

Superintendent Letter - November 24, 2020

Scott City R-1 Family,

I hope this letter finds you and your family doing well and staying healthy during these trying times. As you may already be aware, Governor Parsons announced on Thursday, November 12, 2020 modifications to the state guidance related to identifying close contacts in a school setting.

Due to the modifications in the state guidance, Scott City R-1 School District is implementing a mask mandate to decrease the number of students being quarantined for being a close contact to a person diagnosed with COVID-19.

If a person diagnosed with COVID-19 and a person identified as a close contact are both wearing a mask appropriately during the time of exposure in the school setting, the close contact would not need to be quarantined.

As a district we fully understand the importance and benefits of students receiving in person instructional time and feel the modifications to the state guidance (mask mandate) will reduce the number of students being placed in quarantine.

More information regarding the modifications from our Governor can be found on our school website in our "Return-to-School" plan.

Sincerely,
Michael Umfleet - Superintendent of Schools
