COVID-19 Info and Procedures
Athletic participation:
Starting October 1, 2021, all students who choose to participate in DeMatha Athletics will be required to be vaccinated.
You are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after the 2nd shot.
If you have started the vaccination process and have only 1 shot by 10/1, you will still be permitted to begin activity but will be required to complete the 2nd shot within the timeframe designated by your healthcare provider.
We are taking this step to ensure the safety of our students and school community, and to decrease the rate of spread within athletics while also allowing our student athletes to reap the physical and psychological benefits of returning to sports.
