Please see the important message from Principal Harrison regarding new spring sports protocol.
Dear RHS Spring Athlete,
This morning I was informed that the MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association) with the support of the DESE (Department of Elementary and Secondary Education) voted to adopt the new EEA (MA Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs ) guidelines. The new EEA guidance amends high school sports COVID protocols with the following changes:
Athletes on spring teams in active play outdoors are not required to wear a mask/facial covering.
Athletes when they are on the bench or in a dugout are not required to wear a mask/facial covering.
Athletes in low-risk sports when indoors where a distance of at least 14 feet or more is consistently maintained between each participant, are not required to wear a mask/ facial covering.
Spectators and chaperones, coaches, staff, referees, umpires and other officials who can social distance while outdoors, are not required to wear a mask/face covering.
Visitors, spectators, volunteers, and staff while indoors are required to wear a mask/facial covering.
·
There are no changes to individual MIAA sport modifications other than the mask/facial covering mandate.
Sincerely,
John Harrison
RHS Principal
