Community Update- MSAD 60 Athletics 1.22.21

January 22, 2021

Dear Noble Families,

Please let this serve as an update on Winter Sports. Much to our surprise there has been a very recent modification in the guidelines for athletics. The Noble Athletic Department has worked diligently to collect as much information as possible and integrate that information into the Noble High School COVID -19 Protocols. After careful consideration, here is the schedule for Noble High School Indoor Track, Cheering, Basketball, Hockey and Wrestling:

January 27-29, 2021 Orientation by Sport and Cohort

Week of February 1, 2021 Skills, Drills, and Conditioning

February 8-19 2021 Skills, Drills, and Strategic Practicing per sport*

*At this point in time there are no final plans for gameplay, which have the potential to disrupt our efforts to protect cohorts and limit cross-community exposure. MSAD #60 will consider the implications of resumption of activities after the Maine School Board Association and Maine School Management Agency issues additional guidance.

The Noble High School Athletic Department will send out additional sport-specific information over the course of the next few days.

Again, this was an unexpected development and we can’t stress enough the need for Noble Athletes to follow all the Health and Safety Guidelines provided by the Maine DOE, CDC, and the Athletic Department.

Stay well,

Audra Beauvais

Superintendent of Schools
