Student and Spectator Expectations at Home Football Games
As football season continues, the Laurel School District remains committed to providing a safe, enjoyable, and family-friendly environment at all home games. To support this effort, we are reinforcing the following expectations:
● Middle School Students – All Laurel Middle School students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to attend home football games. Students will not be permitted to enter the stadium without adult supervision.
● Behavior Expectations – Students are expected to demonstrate respectful and appropriate behavior throughout the event. The district maintains a zero-tolerance policy for disruptive, unsafe, or inappropriate conduct. Students who fail to meet these expectations may be asked to leave the stadium and could face further disciplinary action.
● Elementary Students – Parents are strongly encouraged to supervise their elementary-aged children at all times. Unsupervised students present safety concerns and may interfere with the overall experience for other spectators.
● Restricted Areas Around the Stands-Spectators are respectfully asked to refrain from loitering or congregating behind either the home or visiting team stands. These areas must remain clear to allow for safe movement, emergency access, and to prevent unnecessary distractions to players, coaches, and officials.
● Exit Procedures Following the Event-At the conclusion of the game, all spectators are expected to exit the facility promptly and in an orderly manner using the designated exit gates. This practice helps maintain crowd safety and ensures that post-game operations can proceed without interruption.
● Field Access Policy-For the safety of players, coaches, and game officials, spectators are not permitted on the playing field at any time following the conclusion of the contest. Access to the field is strictly limited to authorized Laurel School District personnel who are performing official duties.
● Track Access- To ensure the safety of our players, coaches, and game officials, access to the track is restricted to authorized personnel only.
The cooperation of all spectators in following these guidelines is greatly appreciated. By adhering to these expectations, you contribute to a safe, respectful, and enjoyable atmosphere for
everyone in attendance. Thank you for your continued cooperation and support of the Laurel School District. Working together, we can ensure that our game nights remain safe and enjoyable for everyone.
