The Kent School District will allow a limited number of spectators at high school sporting events.<\/p>\n
No fans were allowed when games began March 12 at Kentwood, Kentlake, Kent-Meridian and Kentridge due to COVID-19 restrictions. But the district worked with other North Puget Sound League superintendents, principals and athletic directors to offer free access to fans to as many home contests as possible, according to a March 23 Kent School District statement.<\/p>\n
Gov. Jay Inslee eased the restrictions this month on fans attending sporting events with the move to Phase 3 of the reopening plan.<\/p>\n
A limited number of spectators will be allowed at high school events for free in Kent under the following guidelines:<\/p>\n
• Only two spectators will be admitted per home team athlete, including participating cheer and dance teams.<\/p>\n
• Spectators must follow state Department of Health (DOH) guidelines by wearing a mask and social distancing with 6 feet between groups.<\/p>\n
• Spectators must participate in a wellness screening before entering the event.<\/p>\n
• Student only allowed with adult.<\/p>\n
Spectators who do not follow the expectations may not be allowed to enter the event. Please note that seating capacity varies by venue.<\/p>\n
All families and fans can watch livestreams of high school events for free by school and sport. Go to the school’s website for information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
