General Athletic Information: 

With AECSD going to remote instruction due to COVID-19, NYS guidance dictates that we cannot conduct co-curricular activities or athletics. We are scheduled to resume in-person instruction on January 20 and will  begin low & moderate risk athletics at that time.

As more information becomes available in the upcoming days and weeks, it will be posted here.

PHYSICALS FOR THE 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR: 
THE NYS Education Department has announced that student-athletes may participate in the 2020-2021 sports seasons if they have had a health exam in the previous two school years AND provide a current health history completed and signed by a parent/guardian within 30 days of the start of the season.
