I hope you all had a restful 3 day weekend! I could totally get used to having 3 day weekends twice a month like we have been so lucky to have this September. This was much needed as we gear up to a busy week ahead. Please see our GMMS updates below regarding spectator expectations for all upcoming athletic events, as well as a few exciting announcements for the week ahead!
Athletic Event Policy Update
Our top priority at every game is to provide a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment for our student-athletes, families, and fans. We know how much these events mean to everyone, and we’ve tried a variety of lighter approaches to help keep our games enjoyable for all. We have noticed an increase in behaviors at athletic events that may be disruptive to our spectators and athletes. We want our athletic events to be respectful for everyone and will implement the following guidelines effective immediately:
Moving forward, any student attending an athletic event, whether hosted on our campus or at an away venue, must be accompanied by their personal parent or guardian.
- Entry Requirement: Students will not be permitted to enter any athletic game without their parent/guardian present.
- Seating Requirement: Students must remain seated with their parent/guardian throughout the game.
- Scope: This practice applies to all home and away athletic contests.
We will also be relaying these expectations directly to students throughout the week to ensure everyone is prepared. Thank you for partnering with General Marshall Middle School and helping us model the positive behavior and sportsmanship we expect from our students.
