Spectator Courtesy Code
Attendance expectations for athletic events

Spectator Courtesy Code

Discourteous or unsportsmanlike behaviors are unacceptable. No spectator should be involved in any of the following actions:

No one shall throw any object on to the playing surface. This action is equally dangerous to Shen athletes, other participants and spectators.
No one shall use unacceptable language when cheering or engage in any cheer that is demeaning to a team or an individual (players, coaches, referees, or other spectators)
No sound producing devices shall be used. This includes horns of any type, whistles, drums, etc.

Attendance expectations for athletic events

1. Middle school and elementary school students will be allowed to attend home evening/night contests only when an adult chaperone attends the game with them and maintains responsibility for their safety and behavior.

2. Children who arrive at the gate or door without an adult will be held there until an adult can arrive to pick them up to take them home or attend the athletic contest with them.

3. High School students may enter the game without an adult. However, they must be prepared to show proper identification if a staff member requests it.

We believe that this practice will help to ensure that our school facilities and activities are a safe and healthy place for everyone to use and enjoy. If we work together, we will be able to model for our younger students the appropriate behaviors and expectations we have for the Shenendehowa school community.
