COVID puts some Natick winter sports on ice temporarily; forces spectator changes for sports, arts

January 7, 2022 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

In coping with the COVID-19 surge, Natick Public Schools is putting a handful of its winter sports on pause after consulting with local and state health officials.

Here’s the plan:

  • Boys’ varsity Ice hockey: Paused 12/31, return on 1/10
  • JV boys’ ice hockey: Paused 1/6, return on 1/17
    9th grade boys’ ice hockey: Paused 1/6, return on 1/17
  • Wrestling (all levels including Middle School): Paused 1/4, return on 1/15
  • Boys’ varsity basketball: Paused 1/4, return on 1/15
Spectators of Natick High and Middle School athletics are in for a change, too, as are those with other schools in the Bay State Conference. NPS calls this move “a proactive measure to limit the scope of the latest COVID 19 surge.”

Natick High School and Middle School Athletics will be adopting the following protocols for all home games/contests until Tuesday Jan. 18.

  • limiting spectators to 2 adult guests per player for both home/away teams
  • visiting teams will be arriving dressed to play with no locker room availability
  • live streaming games at as many levels as teams/Natick Pegasus can handle

Wellesley High’s recent temporary suspension of winter sports due to rising COVID-19 rates created a weird local media frenzy before the school system shortly thereafter announced a resumption of activities the next week.


Natick Public Schools also announced a temporary change for attendees of its arts/honors recitals:
  • Family members only, seated in auditorium in family clusters with 6 feet of distancing between family groups

Natick Public Schools make the call: Snow Day on Friday

January 6, 2022 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

Natick Public Schools has called off school on Friday, Jan. 7 due to the impending snowstorm.

Due to a major storm arriving in our region early tomorrow a.m.and lasting into the school day, school will be cancelled, Friday, January 7, 2022.

No school buildings will be open and cleared until tomorrow at 4pm.

Given the large increase in COVID cases and close contacts in the community, it is advisable that families watch for symptoms over the long weekend and get tested if  COVID symptoms emerge.  If your child has symptoms, do not send him/her/them to school on Monday, work with your physician and school nurse to address.  If your child becomes COVID positive over the weekend, please email the nurse at your school. Emails are located HERE.   More in-depth guidance about the state’s changing protocols will be shared in tomorrow’s Engage newsletter.
