***Tonight our High School girls will travel to Oglesby for volleyball.
Varsity will start @ 4:30 followed by JV.
Face coverings are required to enter and must stay on while at the event.
***Varsity football will have their 1st home game tonight against Frost.
We will recognize our seniors beginning at 7:00 with kick-off set for 7:30.
In following UIL guidelines for spectators, face coverings are required to enter the stadium and need to stay on when 6 feet of distance can't be maintained. Each visitor will also complete a COVID self-check and be temperature scanned. Bleachers will be marked to help maintain distancing.
I appreciate your help in complying with these guidelines set forth by UIL. We are very thankful that our kids get to continue compete as many schools across the state do not.
We hope that you can come out tonight and support our kids!!!

Wishing all of you safe travels to Kerens this evening!
I have reached out to the Kerens Superintendent to double check on face covering requirements and seating. Volleyball will be in the gym and will be filled to 50% capacity. Face coverings are required upon entry and during the contest.
For entry into the football game, face coverings are also required and we can fill the stadium to 50% capacity.
Even at 50% capacity, there will be room for those wishing to attend.
I ask that at both events you practice social distancing among those not in your family groupings and adhere to the policies that Kerens ISD has in place. I am excited to get our seasons started and hope you can come out tonight and support our kids!
