NOCS Families,

As we approach another home football game we are excited to cheer on our football team under the lights tonight! We wanted to make you aware of a couple of updated guidelines will be in place to help ensure that We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and orderly environment for everyone.

The middle school student section has a new location! The bleachers for the middle school students have been moved to the north side of the stadium (closest to the high school). This location is closer to the concession stands and the restrooms making a better experience for our students. Please remember students must remain in the bleachers during the game. The 6-8 student section will be dismissed to the concession areas by bleacher section near the end of the second quarter.

Spectators are asked to stay off the field until the football team is off the field and in the locker room and the marching band has marched off the track. This allows our teams, coaches, and advisors to complete the post-game responsibilities and ensures that everyone can exit the stadium in an orderly manner.

In order to enhance safety and spectator enjoyment, we’d like to take this opportunity to make everyone aware of our student seating policies at Friday night home football games. The following procedures have been implemented for all home football games:

• All elementary students (K-5) must be accompanied by a parent/adult in order to enter the stadium.
• All elementary students (K-5) will sit with their parents/adult in the home bleachers.
• Students (K-5) must remain in the bleachers during the game unless accompanied by a parent/adult.
• Students in grades 6-8 will sit in the bleachers in the north end zone. Students must remain in the bleachers during the game. The 6-8 student section will be dismissed to the concession areas by bleacher section near the end of the second quarter.
• Students will be permitted to reenter the south end zone student section anytime during halftime, as long as they are not interfering with band traffic.
• Students in grades 6-8 who do not wish to sit in the south end zone student section must sit with their parents/adult in the home bleachers.
• Supervision staff will be stationed throughout the south end zone student section, at the gate near the Kona Ice truck, and at the concession stand at half-time to monitor student behavior.
• Students are not permitted to leave their seats outside of the times mentioned above.
• Students in grades 9-12 will sit in the student section located in the second section from the south end of the home bleachers.
• Students are not to interact with any members of the opposing school as they return to their locker room, before, during, or after the game, including halftime.
• Please be reminded that backpacks, outside food/drinks, footballs, soccer balls, etc...., are not allowed to be brought into the stadium. Also, noisemakers are prohibited at games.

Students who fail to comply with these requests will be asked to return to their parent(s) and asked to remain under their parent’s supervision. If a parent is not in attendance, that parent will be contacted and asked to take the student home. Any violations of the rules and regulations as set forth by the district administration could result in being escorted from the stadium and possible forfeiture to attend future stadium events.
