New Attendance Protocols At Nebraska City Public Schools Events

NEBRASKA CITY-As fall athletic competitions begin in the district and state, we are sharing information with you regarding attendance at athletic contests. We are glad we are able to find a way for our students to participate in activities and athletics. We understand the importance of activities and athletics in our students’ educational experience.

As we navigate through COVID-19, we are committed to providing as complete of a school experience as we can while also protecting health and safety. Our priorities are first with students, then with families and fans. The Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) has communicated to all schools that the home school will implement the protocols that will be used for each event that is hosted. The visiting team and all of the fans in attendance, both home fans and visitor fans, are expected to comply with the protocol for that event on that date. This means that with each event there are going to be different protocols.

These protocols could vary greatly by school and event. Some schools may limit or restrict attendance by number or to those living in the player’s household and a pass list may exist to get in. Each school district in the state could have different activity protocols, so please check the website, https://www.trailblazerconference.org for links on what protocols are in place when we are traveling to away games. If there are protocols for that school there will be a link for that day's activity.

For Nebraska City High School and Middle School’s upcoming fall athletic contests, we will limit the number of people in the stands. We know how important it is for families to see their students play and perform. We are grateful we will be able to make this happen. Due to the different sizes of our venues the number of family members on the student pass list will vary. Each student actively participating in the contest, in any capacity, may attend and may have up to 6 family members for volleyball and softball and 8 family members for football games. (At this time, there are no restrictions for girls golf, boys tennis and cross country. We just ask if you attend one of these events, you wear a mask when you cannot social distance). Families are asked to sit together and socially distance from other families.

We are sorry, but for safety, we are unable to accommodate students who are not participating and the general public at this time. District and Conference passes will be honored if you are on a student’s pass list. Otherwise when you arrive at the activity, you will need to check in at the ticket gate and let them know who you are, what student’s list you are on and you will need to pay admission at that time. Mask will be required at all contests, for both indoor and outdoors activities when social distance can not be maintained.

Our fans are important to us, and we want to make sure you can keep up with the games, so we are working with B103 to have our Varsity contests live streamed on the B103 facebook page or we will live stream from the Nebraska City Public School Activities Youtube Channel, you can subscribe to this channel by going to this address https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDMxgrUS4hojIrt1pZL7LQ. We will let you know what platform we are using to live stream for each game on different social media outlets.

As always, please feel free to call the High School, 402-873-3360 on any questions you may have.
