School Spirit and attendance at Games
- Students may not stay after school unless they are an athlete supervised by coaches, or pep squad supervised by it's advisors.
- Masks are required by everyone except the 10 players on the court. Masks should cover nose and mouth at all times. Failure to follow this current ruling for schools will require dismissal from the game.
- While at the game please show your best character, cheering for not against and uplifting our players. Please be respectful and mindful of those around you so that all that are in attendance can enjoy the game. Please stay seated while in the stands so all fans can see.
- Concessions and restrooms will be on the café hall so there should not be anyone in any other area.
- Please clean up by yourself and throw away all trash before leaving your area.
- Students must have rides pick them up in front of the school no later than 15 minutes after the game is over. Announcements will be made at the end of 3rd quarter and midway of 4th reminding students of the current time and to call or check in with your rides.
- After the game all fans, students, families etc. must exit the gym and building and meet their friend/child/athlete or ride outside. Only players may go with coaches to change and pick up belongings.
- Any student that is not picked up within 15 minutes after the game will not be able to stay for the next home game.
