Hello Raider Families,
We've successfully navigated the first few days of the year. While there are always adaptations and some confusion those first couple days, I'd say things have gone very well. Much of the success couldn't have happened without your help and support. I realize bus times are slower those first few days because getting 3, 4, and 5 year old students on the bus can be a challenge. Dismissal has improved each day. We're off to a good start, and I believe our students will have a more "normal" experience this year.
Thank you for your patience and encouragement.
Raider Proud,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
In accordance with IDPH, IHSA, and IESA guidelines, the Midwest Central CUSD #191 Athletic Department has developed the following guidelines for all spectators and student-athletes that attend or participate in any home events that will occur during the 2021 INDOOR sports season at Midwest Central. It is our goal to hold all scheduled contests for our student-athletes. In order for this to occur, we need your full cooperation with the requirements that are listed below. Please understand that the requirements to conduct athletic events may change, and we may be required to change our procedures for hosting events. If these procedures change, we will communicate them as quickly as possible.
• At this time, no capacity limits for the number of spectators in attendance at extracurricular events and activities exists.
• All fans attending an event should self-certify that they are symptom free of COVID-19 before arrival to an event.
• All student-athletes, coaches, game personnel, and spectators MUST wear a mask regardless of vaccination status.
• A certain section will be designated for the student-athletes and coaches near the bench area to keep student-athletes and spectators separate at the event. The designated area will be marked.
• There will be an admission charge for attending events -- $4.00 per adult, $3.00 per student/child, and free admittance for Senior Citizens. Passes are available to be purchased.
• Concessions will be available.
• Restrooms will be available.
Hopefully, this information allows you to attend all indoor extracurricular events hosted by the Midwest Central CUSD #191. We appreciate your cooperation and patience at this time.
Sincerely,
Rodney L. Norris
MCHS Assistant Principal/A.D.
