Hermleigh ISD has shutdown their district through the Thanksgiving holidays due to the Covid 19 virus, our varsity basketball game scheduled for Tuesday, November 24, 2020, has been canceled. This game has not been rescheduled at this time.
With several young players and one varsity player playing the varsity schedule until the rest of the varsity players return from quarantine, the Whirlwinds kicked off basketball season by defeating Wellman-Union 69-56. The team was led in scoring by Dillon Bruington, Aiden Trevino, and Saul Reyes. Great job Winds!
Duncan parents, don’t forget today is picture day! We can’t wait to see everyone’s smiling faces!
This is just a friendly reminder that facial coverings are required if you are attending a basketball game in our gyms. This is the only way to keep our kids safe and ensure we are able to play a full basketball season. If this becomes an issue, people may be asked to leave or we may have to play games without fans. Please do what’s best for our students and athletes! Thank you to those who are complying with this guideline.

A high school student received medical confirmation today, Thursday, November 12th, of a positive COVID-19 test. This student is now in quarantine. After conducting contact tracing, we discovered that the varsity boys basketball team was in close contact with the student.

Due to social distancing and wearing of facial coverings, we are confident that no students in classrooms were in close contact with the positive case. Close contact is defined as being exposed to infectious secretions (i.e. being coughed on) or being within 6 feet for a cumulative duration of 15 minutes without a facial covering. Please continue to encourage your child to wear their facial covering as this will help decrease the likelihood of contracting the virus.
