Oceanside Middle and High School Spring Sports Start Date Delayed

Rockland/Thomaston, Maine - According to Oceanside High and Middle Schools, Oceanside Middle and High School Spring Sports start date has been delayed to April 27, as per the MPA. We will be using the same guidelines for Middle School to maintain consistency.

All events scheduled prior to April 27 have been postponed as we will try to work out what the remaining portion of the season can look like.

Please be kind to one another, and of course, wash your hands.

My sincerest regrets,

Molly Bishop Harriman, CAA

From the MPA:

Good Morning,

As you all know, implications from the Corona Virus have hit Maine. This being said, we have been in contact with the Maine CDC, DOE, Governor’s office, and other health agencies in regards to the best way to provide services that people need while keeping them safe.

Yesterday, Governor Mills had a press conference stating that they are encouraging “Social Distancing.” By her definition, “social distancing” means groups of 250 or more people attending non-essential events should be delayed or postponed.

Because of this, the MPA Board of Directors and Interscholastic Management Committee voted today, March 13, 2020 to delay the start of the 2020 Spring sports pre-season practice until April 27, 2020. We will continue to monitor the situation and will make the appropriate changes as needed to ensure the safety of all students.
