• Must be worn by everyone inside the school building at all times.
  • It is important to understand that due to Scarborough Public Schools mandatory mask policy, all student-athletes must wear a face masks while participating indoors.
• Must be worn on all school transportation.

It is important, for the safety of all individuals, that parents/guardians and their children do a self screen, daily, prior to attending any school sponsored activity. If you are not feeling well or have any symptoms of illness or COVID-19 please stay home! To help with self screening we have linked two tools below.

• Maine DOE Pre-Screening PDF →
• U.S. CDC Symptom Checker →

• Each individual must arrive to practice/game with a personal water container large enough to get them through their event.
  • Sharing of water containers between individuals is strictly prohibited.
• Refill stations will be available on the Scarborough School campus.

**All isolation and quarantine procedures will be followed as outlined by the Maine CDC and the Maine Department of Education SOP. The information found below is directly from the Maine DOE Standard Operating Procedure for Schools. If additional clarifications are needed please contact a member of the athletic department staff or the school nurse.

• All students, teachers, or staff who test positive for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status, shall isolate until they meet the U.S. CDC criteria for release from isolation. After isolating the positive case, the school-designated contact tracer should identify and notify all close contacts (see Appendix A).
• Maine DOE will work with school officials to provide technical assistance in the identification of close contacts within schools. In a school setting where there is no assigned seating the whole classroom will be counted as close contacts. Where a school strictly adheres to assigned seating, close contacts will be identified using the definition above.
  • In school activities/athletics where student-athletes compete in a contest/practice/event in which another individual has become COVID-19 positive, student-athletes will be considered close contact as they would in a classroom without assigned seating.
• Exposures that occur in outdoor settings or on a school bus do not constitute a close contact and, thus, do not require quarantine, regardless of vaccination status. This applies even where there is physical contact in outdoor settings (e.g., during sporting events).
• Those close contacts who are enrolled in the pooled testing program may continue to attend school and school activities so long as they remain asymptomatic. They should be informed of their need to quarantine in the community, unless they meet other quarantine exceptions, outlined below, and the need to monitor for symptoms.

Quarantine Exemptions
 

1. The close contact is 18 or older and has received all recommended vaccine doses, including boosters and additional primary shots for some immunocompromised people; or
2. The close contact is 5-17 years and completed the primary series of COVID-19 vaccines; or
3. The close contact had COVID-19 within the last 90 days; or
4. The close contact (staff or student) participates in school pooled testing; or
5. The school consistently observes and enforces a universal masking policy for all teachers, students, staff, and visitors.

Staff and students who do not fall within exceptions 1-5 above must quarantine if they are a close contact, regardless of the location of exposure.

Staff and students who only fall within exceptions 4-5 must quarantine in the community, per Maine CDC quarantine guidelines.
