    Safety and Health Requirements:

  • We need ALL players to bring their own ball to every game (pre-pumped) to avoid cross contamination.

  • All players must bring their own water bottle to not be shared with anyone else.

  • We will not be checking temps at the gate but ask that parents do so before player arrives.

  • If a player tests positive for COVID, we ask that you notify Colin Lyons (cjlyons22@gmail.com or 760-801-

    2619) so that we can work with authorities to contact trace and inform families as needed while

    maintaining player confidentiality. We will be keeping attendance at games to assist in notifications.

  • Please ensure that your player has hand sanitizer to use before and after each game.

  • Parents and spectators are required to maintain six feet of social distance at all times and wear a mask.

  • Players will be asked to set their gear down separate from other players gear.

  • As much as we love helpers, we ask that the players/parents not touch the equipment for set up or take

    down.

  • Players should have masks available in case unable to distance on the sidelines.

  • Remind your players, no high fives, hugs, hand bumps, spitting, etc.

  • We do not suggest kids wear masks/respirators during games as this can impede breathing when exerting.

  • For games, please distance yourselves and wear masks.

  • Again, we all ask that you screen your own players before practice and stay home if you have had any

    signs or symptoms of COVID. If they missed school for illness, do not come to games.

  • The safety of our kids and their families is the top priority. We appreciate everyone’s participation and

    commitment to ensure we have a fun season while keeping everyone healthy.

  • St. Cecilia School has had great success with in-person learning due to all of the safety and cleaning

    precautions in place. In order to continue that success it is imperative that we all follow the safety and health requirements outlined above.

Come visit the St. Cecilia Library!

We will be offering open hours for the St. Cecilia library starting June 4 on Thursdays so our students can continue reading throughout the summer.  Due to social distancing guidelines, there are some protocols we must follow to keep our staff, students, and families safe and healthy.  If you would like to sign up for a ½ hour to come to the library (with masks and only with immediate family members), please do so here.  We are offering Thursdays from 9-1 PM and 4-6 PM but you must sign up for time so we can be sure we have only the number of allowable people in the building at one time.  You can also look over our library virtually (see attachment) and then email Mrs. Turbes by Wednesday so she can put your book package together for pick up on Thursday.
