Winter Sports On January 14, 2021, the C.I.A.C. released the 2020-21 Winter Sports Plan. Per the plan, practice was allowed to begin as early as January 19. Sports considered "low" or "moderate" risk can begin competition no earlier than February 8. "High" risk sports are only permitted to participate in small group conditioning and non-contact skill building for the duration of the season. Similar to the fall season, this plan may change quickly if there is an increase in the Covid-19 metrics.

Please continue to make safe and healthy decisions that include wearing a mask and social distancing. Additionally, I ask that you avoid supporting or participating in behaviors outside of the school setting that can lead to increased Covid-19 metrics.
Stay healthy,
Mr. Salutari .
