MCSS Family,
As we gear up for the start of our athletic season, we want to ensure our families understand their crucial role in creating a safe and enjoyable game day experience. Last fall, our Athletics Department introduced Standard Athletics Procedures (SAP) to help our campus administrators and School Resource Officers maintain this environment for everyone.
For enhanced security, we are proud to use the OpenGate Weapons Detection Systems at the entrances of our stadiums and fields. This cutting-edge technology, similar to the systems used at Trash Panda games or local concerts, ensures a swift and secure entry process, keeping prohibited items out. This measure is designed to provide you with a sense of safety and security during your visit. We recommend leaving any unnecessary items at home or in your vehicle to facilitate smooth entry.
It's crucial that we all play our part in adhering to the SAP guidelines, which are listed below for your reference. These guidelines are not just rules, but a collective effort to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Your cooperation is key to the success of our events.
MCSS Standard Athletic Procedures
- Elementary and Middle School Students Must Be Accompanied By An Adult To Be Granted Entry
- The adult must remain in attendance in order for the child to remain at the game
- Unaccompanied students who are unable to present a driver's license will be denied entry
- Spectators May Not Be In Possession Of Large Bags or Backpacks Unless There Is A Parental Or Medical Need
- Spectators Must Keep Walkways Clear For Fans, Teams, And Game Officials
- Loitering Is Not Permitted
The MCSS Standard Athletic Procedures serve as the minimum requirements for all campuses. However, individual schools can exceed these standards as long as their actions remain reasonable and align with district guidelines.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to create a safe, fun atmosphere for everyone. We’re excited to cheer on our teams and enjoy the season ahead, and we appreciate your support in making this possible!
