KSHSAA Changes Attendance to Winter Activities
From Dec. 10 through Jan. 28 KSHSAA "will allow for attendance up to two parents/guardians per participant(s) family as allowed by local board of education or health department restrictions."
Rosters listing participants and two parents/guardians who may attend will be provided to schools competing in activities. Each entry should have a copy to check off those who attend. KSHSAA does not allow substitutes or children to take the place of a parent or guardian.
Participants include players, coaches, managers, cheer, dance (when performing), pep bands, and student journalists (filmers). The SPIAA League voted to not allow pep bands during this time to keep attendance to a minimum. In additions some schools have county health or school restrictions reducing attendance to less than two parents or guardians.
ALL KSHSAA indoor activities require the proper wearing of a mask. Activities this new policy impacts include basketball, bowling, debate, forensics/speech, scholars bowl, swimming & diving, and wrestling.

Meade USD 226 COVID-19 Update
Meade continues to remain in the YELLOW. Quarantines have gone down considerably and only a small number of students and staff are out of the building. County positive cases continue to be stable and much lower than several weeks ago. The 2 week positivity rate has moved to the orange level, but fewer tests are being completed at this time. The FREE rapid testing program continues to give assurance to parents and staff members quickly about a positive or negative test. Hospitalizations are still a concern statewide because of the lack of bed space for critical patients. The Gating Task Force is very pleased with where the school numbers are at at this time.
> 6 Students out of the buildings (quarantine, positive, or ill) 12/9
> 2 Staff member out of the buildings (quarantine, positive, or ill) 12/9
> 25 County Active Cases (12/9)
> 14.8% - 2 Week County Positive Case Rate (12/2)
> 9.5% - 1 Week County Positive Case Rate (12/6)
We are so happy to share our 2020 Christmas program with you! Our preschool-8th grade students worked hard preparing and performing a program for you that will entertain you and put you in great Christmas spirits. Enjoy!

Meade USD 226 remains in the YELLOW based on the District Gating Criteria. This is great news considering COVID-19 cases have continued to spike across the country. Meade County positive cases have dropped nearly in half since the high of a couple of weeks ago. The district has seen a few more HS quarantines that put them in the yellow, but the GS/JH is still in the green in this area. The Gating Task Force is very pleased with where the school district is right now. Finding hospitals for patients needing more care continues to be a challenge. Many parents are taking advantage of the FREE testing at the Health Dept. The district is very thankful to parents for utilizing this service. Kenneth Harshberger, Superintendent

The elementary school and junior high (PS-8th grade) Christmas program will be recorded on Wednesday, December 2nd during the school day. We encourage the students to dress in picture day clothes for the recording. The program will be shared with the public to view on Facebook and the District website once we have it finalized.
