Basketball games start this week. Student
spectators attending home or away games without
a guardian present during games must be
picked up or have pick-up rides in the stands by 8:00 pm for each
home and away event. Students attending the game as a spectator should make
clear arrangements to have a ride at the designated pick-up time PRIOR to
attending the game. Students picked up later than the expected pick-up time or
with no pick-up ride in the stands by 8 pm could forfeit the privilege of
attending future athletic activities as a spectator. If the game is not over at
the 8 pm pick-up time, the driver/pick-up ride can enter the game for FREE for
the remainder of the game to sit with the student in the stands.
