No Dogs on Campus as of May 1st 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people began walking their dogs on the Southwestern campus. Even though dogs are not normally allowed on campus, we have let it slide as our campus has been a great, safe place for people to get outside and exercise during this time of ongoing social and activity restrictions. As the weather changes and we begin opening up our campus more and more for Physical Education classes to take place outdoors and  for sports to start taking place, we have unfortunately noticed that people are not cleaning up after their pets. This makes for hazardous and unsanitary conditions for our athletes and students in classes taking place outdoors. As of May 1^st, our No Dogs on Campus rule will be back in effect and will be enforced to protect our athletes and our students during outdoor classes or playtime. We thank you for your cooperation.

Athletic Information for Fall 2 Spectators 

The NYSPHSAA and Section VI will allow member school districts the option of allowing up to two adult spectators per home athlete for the Fall 2 volleyball season and two adult spectators per home and away athlete for the Fall 2 football and sideline cheer season. Schools have the autonomy to adjust down if they deem that the footprint of their facilities is insufficient to safely host two spectators for each athlete. 

Southwestern is excited to allow two adult spectators per athlete to attend home volleyball games along with two adult spectators per athlete to attend home and away football games during the Fall 2 season to cheer in a positive manner for our student/athletes. The district will require all the procedures outlined to be followed at all home contests. Any violations may result in adult spectators losing the opportunity to attend the Fall 2 contests. The following procedures will be in place for the Fall 2 season:

1. Temperature screening will be done prior to entering the facilities
2. Six feet of social distancing is required in the bleachers during contests
3. Masks will be required to be properly worn during the entire contest
4. Specific sections of the bleachers will be designated for each adult spectator group in the gym for volleyball

Adult spectators will not be admitted into the facility until 15 minutes prior to each contest for volleyball and 30 minutes prior for football contests (ex. for a 5:00 JV game volleyball game spectators should not arrive until 4:45). Also, all adult spectators must leave the facility immediately after the contest. Congregating in common areas is prohibited. Finally, CCAA schools plan to continue livestreaming as many contests as possible. Livestream links will be made available on the Southwestern District Athletic webpage.

Again, we are excited to welcome spectators into our facility for the Fall 2 season and look forward to everyone cheering in a positive manner for our student/athletes. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Salisbury at (716) 484-6840.
