Dropping off items to school
It is also a good idea to write names in sharpie on things like jackets, lunchboxes, water bottles, etc so that when they are "lost" we can make sure that we return them.
Thank you!

DISTRICT INFORMATION
Sycamore Stadium Policy Reminders
1) Elementary and Junior High age students should be accompanied by a parent for admission to football games whenever possible. Some local schools have made this a firm policy, so we would like to encourage this as well.
2) No outside footballs/basketballs etc..are allowed inside the stadium. These items will be taken away by our gate people when they are brought in, and by any administrator who sees them as well.
We are proud of our new stadium and want to keep all attendees safe and secure and able to enjoy the game.
