News - Information Regarding Home Football Games

Published on

Dear Parents/Guardians/Students,

 

It’s been a very successful start to the 2022-2023 school year.  We appreciate everyone’s support so far. We’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of our student seating policies at Friday night home football games. 

In order to enhance safety and spectator enjoyment, the following procedures have been implemented for all home football games:

  1. All elementary students (K-4) must be accompanied by a parent/adult in order to enter the stadium.
  2. All elementary students (K-4) will sit with their parents/adult in the home bleachers.
  3. Students (K-4) must remain in the bleachers during the game unless visiting the concession stand/restroom with their parent/adult. 
  4. Students in grades 5-8 will sit in the bleachers (The Pier) in the west end zone. Students must remain in the bleachers during the game. The 5-8 student section will be dismissed to the concession areas by bleacher section near the end of the second quarter.  Learwood will exit near the away team concession stands, Troy students will exit towards the home concession stands.  Students will be permitted to reenter The Pier anytime during halftime, as long as they are not interfering with band traffic.

5.      Supervision staff will be stationed behind the concession stands/ Kona Ice truck, and in the paved area in front of the concessions to monitor student behavior

6.      Students are not permitted to leave their seats outside of the times mentioned above

  1. Students in grades 9-12 will sit in the normal student section on the northeast side of the stadium.
  2. Please be reminded that backpacks, outside food/drinks, footballs, soccer balls, etc.…, are not allowed to be brought into the stadium.  Also, noise makers are prohibited at games.   

Students who fail to comply with these requests will be asked to return to their parent(s) and asked to remain under their parents’ supervision. If a parent is not in attendance, that parent will be contacted and asked to take the student home. Any violations of the rules and regulations as set forth by the district administration could result in being escorted from the stadium and possible forfeiture to attend future stadium events.

Student attendance at sporting events is an important element to promoting school spirit. It is our hope that students sitting in the bleachers will cheer and support the cheerleaders, band, and athletes on Friday nights. We appreciate your understanding and assistance as these actions are intended to ensure the safety and the enjoyment of the evening for all spectators.
