BISHOP DUNNE Athletics POLICY DURING COVID-19

The safety of Bishop Dunne students, faculty and staff and their families remains a top priority of our school. Please remember that no fans are allowed at Bishop Dunne's home athletic events.

The Diocese of Dallas set certain parameters for the reopening of schools and left other decisions to individual schools to decide, based upon the unique situations of each locale. The Diocese made these decisions for all its schools:

All fall DPL sports for middle school students were cancelled
No visitors are allowed on campus during the school day
No field trips
Mandatory wearing of facemasks in all classes and hallways
Silent lunch periods

TAPPS left most decisions to individual schools; they will not mandate the wearing of masks, for instance. However, as a Diocesan school, we require masks are worn by our athletes and coaching staff. Regarding spectators, TAPPS requires that if a school allows spectators, it must allow them from both the home team and the opposing team. After careful consideration, we determined we could not manage the protocols for screening and monitoring, nor uphold the required social distancing and wearing of masks for the number of fans that would be coming to our facilities.
