Due to on-going concerns with the spread of Covid-19, the Bowling Green R-1 School District has set out the following guidelines for spectators at athletic and extra-curricular events.
- STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK – No spectator should attend a home athletic or extra-curricular event if they are sick. Please refer to the Self Checklist form for a self-assessment of whether or not you should be attending an athletic or extra-curricular event.
- Students in Grades K-8th Grade must be with a parent to attend games. (Strictly enforced during the fall season)
- SOCIAL DISTANCE – The Bowling Green R-1 School District recommends that you sit with your immediate family members and maintain a distance of six feet at all times from other spectators whenever possible. We further recommend that you bring your own seating (lawn chairs) to assist in this process for outdoor activities (i.e. football and softball games). This will help with social distancing and prevent over-crowding in the bleachers.
- WEAR A MASK THAT COVERS YOUR NOSE AND MOUTH – The Bowling Green R-1 School District recommends(not required) that you wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth any time you are not able to maintain six feet of social distancing between yourself and other spectators at an athletic or extra-curricular event.
- WASH AND/OR SANITIZE YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY AND FREQUENTLY- The Bowling Green R-1 School District recommends that spectators wash and sanitize their hands frequently. Additional hand sanitizer stations will be available at most athletic and extra-curricular events to assist with this process.
*Athletic and extra-curricular activities are an essential part of the development and education of our students. The Bowling Green School District recognizes the importance of these activities and believes that adhering to these outlined measures will help our students have as many of these experiences as possible. Thank you for your cooperation and your support of our students, coaches and sponsors in their athletic and extra-curricular endeavors.
**These guidelines and recommendations are subject to change based on current national, state, and local guidelines.
