In an effort to be proactive in keeping our students and coaches safe regarding COVID-19, the Activities Department is asking that you please complete the attached questionnaire each and every time prior to your attendance at any school sponsored activity. This document will assist in keeping accurate, daily records in the event we need to go back and "contact trace" due to a positive COVID-19 case. The Merrill Activities Department thanks you in advance for taking this quick questionnaire.
