Hillsdale County Back to School
Hello Comets:
The county superintendents have been creating a back to school plan based on the state guidelines that all schools in the state must follow. I have attached the plan below. Please read through it so you are aware of the requirements for face to face instruction this fall. We are working hard to develop a plan for Jonesville that will allow us to provide excellent education in the safest manner possible. I have also attached a survey so we can get information from you on what will work best for your family. Once we have your information, we will be able to refine and improve our plan. Thank you for working with us to take care of our kids!
Chellie Broesamle, Superintendent

4) Prior to participation in any activity, coaches and athletes will be asked to answer health screening questions (Fever, Cough, Sore Throat, Shortness of Breath, Close Contact or Cared for Someone with COVID19), as well as have their temperature taken and recorded. If they answer yes to any of the questions or if their temperature is higher than 100.3, they will not be allowed to participate and will be sent home.
Each of our head coaches participated in a training meeting on Tuesday, June 9, 2020. We will practice social distancing and when it can not be avoided that masks will be worn. Hand sanitizer will be used every 30 minutes and will include the cleaning of equipment. Equipment and facilities will be cleaned at the end of each session.
We ask that student athletes do not share hand sanitizer or food as well as maintain social distancing as they arrive and while waiting to leave. They should avoid spitting to prevent airborne particles. Bathrooms will not be available.
We would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding. We want to get this right and make sure we do everything under our control to ensure that we have sports when we return this fall. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the athletic department - [email protected]
