In late August, the Classic 8 Conference voted to permit two attendance passes per athlete for football, girls volleyball, and boys soccer this fall and a letter was sent to all OHS fall athletic families regarding the conference decision. After the Classic 8 decision was shared with families throughout the region, the social gathering size-limits were increased by Waukesha County. The conference already had a plan before this announcement, and therefore, we plan to follow it until Superintendents and Athletic Directors meet again on September 30. At that time, the group will vote on whether or not to increase the number of passes allowed at each athletic event.
There have been many questions regarding our student body attending games, and we recognize differences in opinions within our athletic community regarding athletic attendance. The most important thing is that our high school athletes get a chance to play their season. The OHS administration is working on a plan to hopefully allow students and additional community members to attend games after September 30 and we will communicate further details as soon as they are available.
