Charleston, W.Va. –The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) has posted the updated School Alert System map that includes the new gold category metric. As announced by Governor Jim Justice, counties in gold have 10 – 14.9 cases of COVID-19 infection per 100,000 people.
In the gold category, counties will be able to move to an in-person instructional model with restrictions including face coverings at all times for grades 3-12. Extracurricular activities are permitted and competitions may occur against schools within the same county as well as schools in other gold counties. Additionally, modifications to spectator requirements at extracurricular activities have been made.
As a part of this re-set, students from several counties that were deemed orange as of last Saturday’s (September 12) School Alert Map update, are now gold and may, at the discretion of their local boards of education, return to in-person instruction tomorrow, Wednesday, September 16. They may also resume the activities described above and outlined at https://wvde.us/reentrymetrics. These county boards of education may also decide to wait and make decisions based on the Saturday, September 19, 2020, School Alert System map update.
* Red (Substantial Community Transmission): Counties in red include Monongalia.
* Orange (Heightened Community Transmission): Counties in orange include Kanawha and Monroe.
* Gold (Elevated Community Transmission): Counties in gold include Boone, Fayette, Logan, Mingo and Putnam.

* Green (Minimal Community Transmission): Counties in green include Barbour, Braxton, Gilmer, Hardy, Hampshire, Lewis, Marion, Marshall, Mason, Mineral, Morgan, Nicholas, Pendleton, Pleasants, Preston, Randolph, Ritchie, Tyler, Webster, Wetzel, Wood, Wirt and Wyoming.
The next School Alert System map update is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2020, at 5:00 p.m.
All schools, both public and private, are expected to adhere to the WVDE School Alert System map to guide in-person instruction and extracurricular activities.

University High School Fall Athletic Parents,
Monongalia County is in yellow. We truly do not anticipate being in anything but yellow because of the impact from WVU.
We will probably be in yellow for all home and away events. So, only parents will be able to attend events.
All parents will have to go online and set up SCHOOL CASH ONLINE accounts. Parents will be linked to the athletes on the teams in this system. The state and county want to use no exchange of money at all. This online system allows this.
We have attached a form on how to register for SCHOOL CASH ONLINE. Parents need to register now so they are squared away when games start next week. If parents get registered now, we can begin selling tickets on-line.
We are only operating one week at a time now in case of a shut down or games cancelled.
We will notify parents on how to purchase tickets for away events as soon as the school get us the information.
