Dear Parents:

Football season is here again.  We hope you and your children who are interested in football will attend the games at Pryor Field/John Stadium.

Many times the enjoyment of watching football is interrupted by children who do not particularly care about the game and attempt to use the time to play and run around the bleacher section.  To prevent this from happening, guidelines for elementary students have been established.

Students in kindergarten through second grade must be  accompanied by a parent or another adult to attend the game. It is requested that they sit with their parent and will be expected to abide by the same guidelines as other grade school students.  Students in grades 3 through 5 may sit with their parents or in the student section reserved for them in the lower northwest corner of John Stadium. 

If a child sitting in the elementary section does not abide by the guidelines he/she will be asked to sit with their parents.  Students in grades 3-5 who attend without parents may be sent home if behavior becomes a problem.  Parents will be advised the following school day why such action was taken if they cannot be contacted that evening.

Listed on the bottom of this letter are the guidelines elementary students are expected to follow at Fredonia home contests, whether it be the middle or high school participating.  We request your cooperation in seeing that your children abide by these guidelines so that everyone can enjoy the football games.

Respectfully,

Aaron Chard

Principal
