Those students choosing Distance Learning/Virtual are not allowed to participate in Chillicothe R-II
extra-curricular activities on school property. This includes athletics, clubs, and organizations. If an
organization has a virtual meeting, or contest, the student would be eligible to participate.
Fall Sports Updates:
Attendance will be limited to immediate family members of the participants (parents, grandparents,
guardians, siblings). Individual students will not be admitted.
Fans (including any family members that are students) will be expected to sit with their families and
maintain social distancing from other fans. There will be no student section.
Face coverings will be required at all indoor events and may be required at outdoor events, subject to
local health guidelines.
Band and dance teams will be allowed to perform and attend home events and their immediate
families will be admitted as well. Band and dance teams will not remain in the event once their
performances have concluded. To minimize the number of fans in the event, families of band and
dance teams are encouraged to attend only the performance of their respective students. There will
be no pep band.
Cheerleaders will be allowed at home and away events and their immediate families will also be
admitted.
When individual athletes are not participating in strenuous activity, a school provided gaiter (face
mask) will be required.
Softball, Volleyball, and Soccer Tournaments have been cancelled.
