Statement on Fan and Student Conduct at Athletic Events

Our school district is proud of the strong support our students, families, and community show at athletic events. That support plays an important role in creating a positive environment for our student-athletes and visiting teams.

However, we have experienced several recent incidents involving inappropriate conduct by spectators and students at school events. This behavior does not reflect the values of our district, our schools, or our community.

Moving forward, the district will be much more intentional and firm in enforcing conduct expectations at all school-sponsored events. Any behavior that is disruptive, disrespectful, unsafe, or unsportsmanlike—including profanity, taunting, confrontations, or failure to follow event staff instructions—will not be tolerated.

Immediate consequences may include removal from the event, loss of attendance privileges for future events, and additional disciplinary action as appropriate. Law enforcement may also be involved when necessary.

In addition, congregating in common areas such as entrances, walkways, concessions, restrooms, and other shared spaces is not permitted. These areas must remain clear to ensure safety, access, and proper supervision. Spectators are expected to remain in designated seating areas unless entering or exiting the facility.

We ask parents and guardians to speak with students about appropriate behavior and to help reinforce these expectations. Our goal is not punishment, but to ensure a safe, respectful, and enjoyable environment for everyone in attendance.

We appreciate your cooperation and continued support as we work together to uphold the standards that represent our schools with pride and integrity.
