Weldon Valley School District RE-20J

Due to current circumstances, we will be asking a few things of our spectators at the football game this Friday, October 9th. Please be patient as we are trying our best to make this a great event for the students who are involved. Here are the things that we would like your support in accomplishing. 1. There will only be one entrance into the stadium. Use the entrance off Main St, only. We will be taking temps as cars come into the parking lot. The gate helpers will take temps inside the car as you come into the facility. Please have a mask on while you are having your temperature taken. 2. Home fans will be on the west side ( Press Box) of the stadium. They will have access to the concession stand and restroom facilities by the concession stand. 3. Visiting fans will be on the east side (Opposite of the Press Box) of the stadium. You will have 2 porta-potties located by the press box on the baseball field and we will have a concessions table set up on your side of the field 4. There will be hand sanitizer located on both sides of the field for fans to use. 5. We need to keep distance between the athletes and the fans, so there will be a rope as a barrier. Please do not cross the roped sections. 6. We encourage fans to bring their own lawn chairs for seating 7. If handicapped parking is necessary, please contact Lacey at 970-645-2411 by 5:00 pm on Thursday. You will be asked to provide your name and make of car and be given access to the parking on the west side of the field. There is limited parking at this location, so it will only be used for handicapped access. To reach this parking, you will have to drive across the burm on the North side of the school and around to the east side of the field. The entrance will be blocked, except for those who have called ahead. 8. We would like to keep large gatherings from happening on the field and in the area around the field following the game. Please try to maintain social distancing as much as possible. 9. We are trying to limit contact between our two communities. We feel like these precautions will allow us to accomplish this goal. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at gedson@weldonvalley.org. We are looking forward to a great day and the opportunity to watch our students compete.

We are excited to have our High School and Junior High Football schedules finalized. The schedule is going to look different from past years. When CHSAA announced the new schedules on Tuesday, we learned we would be playing in a different league this year. This change will be for this season only. Scheduling was also a bit tricky when the assigning of officials was thrown in the mix. Because of the referee shortages, we will be playing a Thursday and a Saturday game this year. We have set homecoming week as October 19th-23rd, with Arickaree/Woodlin as our opponent. Details about homecoming week will be released in the coming weeks. Here is the link to the schedule with games time and locations. GO WARRIORS!! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c3qBEueWarYYsGmXaye6W3e4NdMj0u0nHwhcjhPt6X4/edit#gid=0

We apologize for this hiccup and are working diligently with our phone company to resolve this issue.

Good Evening Warrior Nation! We were extremely excited this morning as we heard that we will have an opportunity to play football this Fall. Unfortunately, volleyball will still be held in season C this Spring. This past week has been a whirlwind of information, and there will be more to come. Here is what we do know: 1. Official football practice will begin on Thursday, Sept. 24th. All athletes must have their physicals, all paperwork and fees paid in order to practice. 2. The first game will be the week of October 9th. 3. We cannot post a schedule yet at this time because CHSAA is still working out the details of the scheduling. 4. We are hoping to play the Junior High football season this fall as well. 5. We are looking at competing in a 6 game season with the option of adding a 7th game later in the season While we are excited for the season, we know there is a lot of information yet to come. We will do our best to keep Warrior Nation updated as we learn of things yet to come. As soon as we have a schedule completed, we will communicate that with everyone.
