ATHLETICS (update 2/22/2021):
Please be advised that the winter high-risk practices scheduled for the week of February 22, 2021, will be postponed. Once more information is received about winter high-risk practices you will be informed. Thank you for your patience with this matter.
ATHLETICS UPDATE (updated 2/5/2021):
Governor Cuomo and the Orange County Department of Health has approved high-risk sports to commence starting February 1, 2021. These sports include:
Basketball
Cheerleading
Football
Lacrosse
Volleyball
Wrestling
The Board of Education voted on High-Risk sports for the Winter Season at a Special Meeting, held on Thursday, February 4th. That meeting can be viewed on the District YouTube channel.
The Orange County Department of Health is requiring a number of steps that must occur to allow high risk sports to begin. These include:
- A school board resolution or the written consent of the School Superintendent/President will be needed detailing:
- which sports will be permitted to be played
- which grades will be permitted to play.
- Medical clearance for student-athletes will be required (school medical staff may provide such clearance)
- Parents/guardians must give their informed, written consent for the NECSD code of conduct that can be found in Family ID
- The school district must retain the original Code of Conduct or a computer-scanned version of the same and produce the same upon the request of the Commissioner of Health of any such
Additionally, the Orange County DOH indicates:
- High-risk school sports may be suspended if the local 7- day percent positivity rolling average exceeds the State average.
As a result of this, these sports will begin off-season style workouts where there will be no sharing of equipment and no full-contact sports until all requirements are met.
Family ID is open for Fall II sports on 1/31/21. Parents and athletes need to register as soon as possible if they are interested in trying out for these sports. Fall II sports include: Soccer (boys and girls), Cross Country (girls and boys), Football, Volleyball, Girls Swimming, Girls Tennis, and Cheerleading.
