Middle and High School Sporting Events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many middle and high schools have adopted a policy regarding elementary and middle school age students attending sporting events. We feel it is appropriate to follow the same guidelines: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure the safety and supervision of all our students, we require that middle and elementary school students be accompanied by a parent\/guardian when attending middle\/high school games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
