Hawk Families,

please see the following reminder regarding football game expectations. We also kindly ask that students remain inside the stadium for the duration of the game (unless, of course, you are leaving for the night), as leaving and re-entering may be restricted except in unique circumstances. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Let’s come together to celebrate our seniors and Hall of Fame inductees, and cheer on our Hawks!

Hawk Families, As we gear up for another home football game this Friday, we’re thrilled to see so many of you coming out to support our team and show school spirit! These events are always full of energy, and it’s awesome to have the community engaged. At this week's game, we will be recognizing our youth football and cheer teams, and we are expecting a large turnout. We’d like to kindly remind everyone that with large crowds, it's important to supervise your children throughout the event. While we encourage everyone to enjoy the game, please ensure our kids are being safe, especially in busy areas like the bleachers, concessions, and walking areas. It's easy for kids to get caught up in the excitement, so having a watchful eye helps make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. We’ve created designated sections for our 5th/6th and 7th/8th grade students to help everyone enjoy the game together and stay safe. We kindly ask that students in these age groups remain in their assigned areas or stay close to the adult they came with. Additionally, all 4th grade students and younger should be seated or standing with the adult they arrived with. Our supervision team will be working to ensure these guidelines are followed so that everyone has a great time. As a reminder, students who choose to sit in the designated 5th/6th and 7th/8th sections will be required to follow these expectations: Students in grades 5th-8th grades must remain in the bleachers during the game. They may use the restroom or visit concessions at the quarter or halftime breaks. There is also a restroom provided for student use at the south end of the bleachers during game play. Students will be permitted to leave their section during the game if a parent escorts them; otherwise, they will be required to remain in the bleachers. If proper supervision is not being followed upon requests from our supervisors, we reserve the right to ask students to leave our stadium for the remainder of the night. This is a school event, and insubordination to staff supervising the event may result in disciplinary consequences. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community and for helping us keep our events fun and safe for all! Go Hawks! Thank you for your cooperation with this. Adam Albrecht
