Heat Advisory Guidelines for Secondary
The Lincoln Co. R-III School District is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for students at school and while participating in activities and athletics. Consistent with this commitment, the District follows these procedures when a heat advisory is issued:
The District Athletic Directors utilize a wet bulb globe thermometer and guidlines as listed on MSHAA's website to determine the current heat index and consult with administration to determine if a heat schedule should be implemented. The coaching staff and athletic trainer carry cell phones in the event that emergency assistance is needed.
Hydration Tips and Fluid Guidelines
Students should hydrate themselves before, during, and after practices and games.
