Morrison CUSD 6

Football Game Attendance The IDPH/IHSA have changed the mitigations for attendance to outdoor events. Events can now allow 20% capacity for their stadiums. Morrison’s capacity is 1500 so we are going to be allowed to have 300 people in attendance for our games. Currently we are going to be giving a select number of tickets to each football player, cheerleader, and pom pon. We also will be working on a student section for the games. Only those people with tickets for the game will be allowed into the stadium and there will be no game day sale of tickets. MHS will not be changing an entry fee to anyone attending the game that receives a ticket from one of the groups mentioned above. If anything changes to how we will be moving forward to include a group of fans into the stadium I will pass it along.

Volleyball Attendance Volleyball home games will be conducted the same as basketball games were this season. Each athlete will be allowed 2 people from their household to attend the games. Freshman and Fresh-Soph parents the gate will open at 4:30 pm. Please enter the school through the pool ramp door and get the screening done in the cafeteria. Once your athlete has finished their last level of competition please exit the gym to allow the next set of parents in. Varsity parents may begin to arrive after 6:00 pm. Again enter through the pool ramp doors and proceed to the cafeteria for screening. Once the F/S game is over and those parents exit you will be allowed to enter the gym for your athletes game. The schedule is supposed to be Freshman at 5:00, F/S at 6:00, and Varsity at 7:00, however some nights the games run quick while others they run long. The starting times for F/S and Varsity will vary a little each week. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

As our winter sports seasons wind down a special thanks to Matt Tichler, Justin Stevenson, and Duane Shaffer for all their hard work keeping the NFHS network up and running. We had over 7500 fans follow our teams during the season. Great job gentlemen!!

As our winter seasons are winding down and football and volleyball are beginning there have been questions about adjusting the limits on fans at contests. Here was the latest update from IHSA: "Many questions have come to our office regarding the spectator limit. We have received communication from our IDPH contact that IDPH is in review of recommendations for changes to the spectator limit. There are no changes at this time, though when we have any approved modifications, we will communicate that out to all of you." Currently the limit of 50 people in attendance applies to both indoor and outdoor events. If any limit changes occur we will let everyone know.

Please see the attached flyer if you are interested in donating blood March 8 & 9.
