Greetings from the St. Paul Athletic Department,
The purpose of this correspondence is to bring you up to date on the most current CIAC Winter Sports Guidance. With just a few minor adjustments the guidance and policies that St. Paul has had in place specific to Winter Sports will remain the same.
Highlights of the Updated Guidance and Reminders of St. Paul Policies
* Masks must be worn appropriately at all times while participating in any athletic activities indoors by all participants and visitors (there are some basic exceptions to this rule for safety reasons for Cheerleading, Swimming & Wrestling).
* Quarantine, Contacts, Isolation - CIAC guidelines & recommendations are now in-line with what we have already been following in partnership with the BBHD.
* Return to Play Protocol after having contracted COVID-19 - A student athlete must obtain medical clearance to return to play after having COVID. A health care provider may either sign off for an immediate return to play / activity or for the student athlete to begin their Return to Play Protocol (as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics & the CIAC). See the attached Medical Clearance form that must be turned into the St. Paul Health Office before a student athlete will be allowed to return to play.
