Welcome Back student, staff, parents, and board members. (Attached is the newly revised version of the Governor Idaho Rebound Stage 2 order.)
Some of the new updated revisions include:
- The guidelines apply to both high school and middle school winter athletic events.
- The new guidelines allow for up to 25 dance team participants to perform at halftime with two coaches present. However, the guidelines do not allow for additional spectators for those dancers.
- The new guidelines allow for up to four people for audio/visual/media needs (instead of just one person as in the previous version of the guidelines).
- The following sentence was added to the section about 12 ft physical distancing. "Where the 12ft distancing cannot be achieved, 6ft is allowable;
- So far this new format is going well at our athletic events, Dallan and I appreciate your support and understanding. Thanks
New Plymouth Community, The Governor has updated the Idaho Rebounds Stage 2 orders for spectators at extracurricular activities. Please be aware of the following expectations for attending games at New Plymouth High School:
· Each student athlete may have up to 2 spectators in the gymnasium. This includes home and away teams and cheerleaders.
· Masks and face coverings are REQUIRED for all spectators when not seated and physically distanced. For districts and charter schools that have a mask requirement, this requirement will be in force for spectators.
· Physical distancing of 12 feet from non-household members must be practiced in any place in the facility. Congregation of people is prohibited within the schools.
· Entrance to the NPHS gymnasium will be from the lobby/concession stand area. There will be separate entrances for home and visiting spectators and they will leave through the same entrances that they entered from.
· The gymnasium will be cleared after each game and sanitized prior to the next game taking place.
· If a high school is found to be in non-compliance then the following tiered process will be followed:
o First offense: The school receives a written warning from the State Board of Education.
o Second offense: The school that is found to be in noncompliance will forfeit that event.
o Third and final offense: The school that is found to be in noncompliance will forfeit all future athletic events for that sport during the winter season.
(For more information, see the Stage 2 attached documents below. NPHS will be following these new guidelines from this point) If you have any further questions, Please feel free to contact Dallan or I, if you have any questions.
