We will hold an additional winter sports parent meeting on November 10^th @ 6:00pm in the high school auditorium, for the rest of the winter sports (Basketball, Boys’ Swimming, Wrestling).

HIGH CONTACT INDOOR SPORTS (Wrestling & Basketball)/ HIGH AEROSOL GENERATING ACTIVITIES (Indoor Cheer):

Please keep in mind that all unvaccinated student-athletes participating in “High contact” indoor sports (Basketball, wrestling) or “High aerosol” generating activities (Indoor cheer) will be required to participate in bi-weekly testing. In order to determine who is vaccinated and who is not, we ask that all students with proof of vaccination status bring it to their coaches. However, before any testing is conducted, we need parent consent! Parent consent will be required and is valid for the entire season.  

CONSENT FORM HERE: Click here for COVID-19 Testing Consent Form

 In addition, student-athletes who are required to participate in bi-weekly testing will also be required to sign up/register on what is called "simple Report". Simple report is the new program that gathers test results. In fact, parents are able to receive their child’s test results right to their cellphones.

The "simple report" link can be found below: https://simplereport.gov/register/YHN77

All testing will be conducted by the Athletic Trainer, Coaches, and Administration. Primarily the coaches. All Head Coaches will be trained by district nurses on how to properly conduct a test at our coaches meeting or when convenient.

• Please refer to the K-12 document (Pages – 17, 18, 19) for more information:
  https://www.doh.wa.gov/Portals/1/Documents/1600/coronavirus/820-105-K12Schools2021-2022.pdf
• Also, please refer to the updated COVID-19 flow chart that we will be using at Hanford High School:

https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1631224101/rsdedu/f5dvqoytvjj631hb3drh/COVID-19SymptomFlowChart91219.pdf

Pay attention to the section titled any symptoms: 

• recommend testing 3-5 days after symptoms start
• Can return to school: 14 days past last date of exposure AND
• 10 days after symptom onset if positive test result or no test

Essentially, this means that if we (HHS) suspect students have COVID, we encourage them to test. If they refuse, we can assume positive, and they would be required to quarantine for 10 days. However, we would like to avoid this. As a result, we encourage parents to keep their kids home if they're sick or feel they are sick.

Please feel free to contact the athletic department if you have further questions or concerns.

 

Best,

 

Gary Winston
