Volleyball Events at West Elk High School.
*The SCBL has set a league policy that schools hosting volleyball matches must limit the gym capacity to 25%.
* Each school will be allotted a number of fans in attendance.
*On Tuesday, Yates Center will be allowed to have 50 fans in attendance.
*Everyone in attendance must wear a face mask at all times while in West Elk High School.
*Admission is $5.00 adults and $4.00 students. The SCBL does not offer league passes and will not accept other league passes.
*Concessions will be available.
As fall events approach please be aware of some changes to our event guidelines.
We will not charge gate for middle school events and we will ask that patrons have exact amounts (Adults-$4.00 and Students-$3.00) for high school events. Concession would prefer to have exact amounts as well so we are recommending that patrons bring smaller bills.
Here are the spectator guidelines. https://drive.google.com/file/d/12UngMMCVMQqerDcholIitoOlkClyjHfW/view?usp=sharing

Elementary Student Arrival - Just in case the elementary/MS back to school letter doesn’t arrive before Thursday, we will be posting parts of the changes occurring this year at the elementary school to get this information out to as many of you as we can. There will be several postings of this information, so we apologize in advance if it seems we’re over sending this information out.
Student Arrival - Main Entrance - The doors of the elementary school will open at 7:30 am. Students who arrive early will be asked to wait outside until that time. Students will also be asked to keep distancing the best they can while waiting. K-5 students who are not eating breakfast will go to the left and proceed to their classrooms. Those eating breakfast will turn right and proceed to the gym to pick up a grab-and-go breakfast and then go to the classroom.
Middle school students entering the building through the main entrance will turn right and either go to their first-hour classroom or go through the gym and pick up a grab and go breakfast and head to their first-hour classroom.
Bus/Westside - The entrance to the gym has changed. Students entering through the west entrance, north of the gym door, will proceed to the gym. These students will either get in the breakfast line or take the north gym route and then head for their first-hour classrooms.
Elementary/MS Building Visitors
• The building is not accepting visitors. If you need to come to the building for school business, please call the office for a time to come to the office. If you need to pick up your student, please call the school office, and we will attempt to have them ready for you. During the school day circle drive pickup is acceptable. There is one exception to the no visiting rule, and this deals with kindergarten and first-grade students. The first seven days, the end of the first full week, parents may walk their students to the classrooms. The wearing of masks of those walking students to class or entering the building would be much appreciated.
Elementary/MS Student Hallway Use
• Students using the hallways will come out of their classrooms and always turn right. The circles of the elementary and middle school become roundabouts with all hallway traffic going in the same direction.
Elementary/MS Breakfast/Lunch - Through student arrival communication, breakfast has been addressed. Breakfast will be a grab and go meal, which is taken to the classroom of the student. Lunch will be a combination of grab and go and in the gym dinning. We have limited the capacity of the gym to approximately 66 students per lunch period. Grade levels have been paired by using K-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6-8. Grade levels will alternate on a two-week cycle of eating in the gym or the classroom unless an agreement to change is made by the grade-level groups. In middle school, the smallest class, 7th grade, will dine in Mr. McVey’s classroom under Mr. McVey’s guidance.
