The ConVal Nordic team competed in its first meet on Wednesday, January 20, at the Dublin School’s Nordic Center.
Skiers competed on machine-made snow over three laps of a challenging 1.5 K course. Organizers used wave starts to spread the skiers safely over the trails and required masks and physical distancing at all times except when actually racing.
Co-captains Eva Calcutt and Cami Hendrixson led the small ConVal group in their first competition, coming in 9th and 15th respectively in the girls race. Eme Tyler-Wall (27th) and Grace Phillips (29th) rounded off ConVal’s entrants.
The Cougars will travel to Lebanon on Wednesday, January 27, for their next race.
With the resumption of in-person classes in the third week of January, students at ConVal Regional High School again follow CDC guidelines and complete daily COVID-19 check-in protocols.
Signage at the entrances serves as a reminder that all persons — students, teachers, staff, and contracted service providers — will be screened for symptoms of COVID-19.
After a series of questions about any newly experienced health symptoms (loss of taste or smell, fever or chills, cough, headaches, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches), the recent travel history and contacts with someone who is suspected or confirmed to have had COVID-19 in the past 14 days is being reviewed.
Finally, temperatures are checked with a no-touch thermal scanning thermometer before individuals can enter the school.
This evening the ConVal School Board approved the recommendation of the COVID-19 Monitoring Team to move to the Green Phase of the ConVal Reopening Plan.
This move allows for reinstituting in-person learning on January 19, 2021, and to restart ConVal High School’s winter athletic programs, with varsity teams participating in a competitive, limited, regional NHIAA sanctioned schedule. During this time, members of the Blue and Gold Cohorts will be allowed to combine and form teams.
Any ConVal High School athlete who participates will be required to sign a COVID-19 waiver and they, as well as siblings or household members, would be required to learn/work remotely until after their final competition and a 14-day quarantine before they can return to in-person learning.
The following timeline will be used to restart ConVal’s winter sports schedule:
1/14/21-1/17/21 - Team conditioning and practice sessions; coaches will be in contact with their athletes regarding tryout/practice dates and times. 1/18/21 - First date to play games.
This plan will be re-evaluated prior to and during these dates to determine if COVID-19 cases have increased in the region.
On Tuesday, January 5, 2021, the ConVal School Board adopted the recommendation of the CVHS administration and the COVID-19 Monitoring Team that participation in all winter athletic programs continue to be paused while the District is in the Orange Phase.
The suspension of winter athletics will be re-evaluated on Tuesday, January 19, 2021, and during this time, coaches will be in contact with their teams remotely to conduct team meetings and remote workouts. Please check our website for updates.
The Link is a student-created publication which is produced in cooperation with the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript.
The student work is based on writing, editing, and photography that is done in a co-curricular club at ConVal Regional High School and is advised by Lance Levesque. Ben Conant, editor at the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript, serves as the outside advisor.
According to Levesque, getting an issue out still during the current year was a particular challenge. "The Link Magazine staff met its deadline today and completed their issue for this semester," Levesque said. "I am so proud of everyone, given the late start we had."
The theme for the publication was a reflection on the year 2020. "'Silver Bells and Silver Linings' is what we went with this semester," Levesque explained. "We wanted to focus on the challenges but also the positive stories and silver linings that have come out of the coronavirus pandemic."
