Spectator Guidelines
We are excited for teams to begin winter sports competitions and it is important that we continue to follow protocols to ensure these events are as safe as possible. Following the guidelines of St. Louis County, member schools of the St. Louis Suburban Public High School Athletic and Activity Association in conjunction with the St. Louis County Health Department have identified the guidelines below regarding spectators.
Sports
Suburban conference schools in accordance with the health department have agreed NO Spectators will be allowed at any events
Facemasks must be worn at all times by everyone including participants.
Social distancing must be followed when at all events.
For contests outside of the St Louis Suburban Conference please check with your schools administration for visitor guidelines.
These guidelines will be reevaluated when St. Louis County revises their Safer at Home guidelines.
NO Spectators will be allowed for any swim meets - All Season
Athletic Schedules
Check Arbiter live for all schedules - you can follow teams of interest and receive schedule updates - https://arbiterlive.com/Teams?entityId=17604
Live Streaming
With the current restrictions on spectators, we will live stream a number of contests on our YouTube page and will send out the links to these streams via Twitter/Instagram. Our Twitter account is @PNVikings10 and for YouTube you can search PNH Varsity Sports within YouTube to find our streaming network.
After-School Activities Update
We will now have a few clubs and activities that will start to meet in person in December (Drama, Choir, Winter Guard, and Student Council) Please be on the lookout for meeting information from the sponsors of these activities.
While in a virtual setting, we will continue to offer opportunities for students to participate in school clubs and activities outside of the school day. Below is a list of organizations planning to meet virtually along with the names and email addresses of the sponsors. If you have any interest in joining these organizations, please reach out to the sponsor for details. These clubs will also be listed on the school website and will be updated as needed.
