As we prepare for the start of basketball season this week, we wanted to remind everyone of our updated policies and procedures for EPS athletic events. We very much appreciate everyone’s cooperation and understanding during our Fall athletic events and know that will continue through our other events. Here are the key points to remember: 1. Wear ID & Lanyard: All students attending any athletic event are required to wear their ID and lanyard. 2. High School Students - Designated Student Only Entrances: Students from both high schools will enter through designated doors. 3. Elementary and Middle School Students: For elementary/middle school students, an adult must be present with them when entering the doors. Students are expected to remain with their parents/guardian or in the designated cheering section throughout the event. 4. Students From Other High Schools: High school students from a school not participating in the game must also be accompanied by an adult. 5. No Bags Are Permitted: Bags will not be allowed through the entrance doors with the exception of a small clutch (4 ½ x 6 ½), medical or diaper bags. 6. No Athletic Equipment (Footballs, Basketballs, etc.) Permitted: Athletic equipment like basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, etc. won’t be allowed through the doors. Everyone should remain in the stands to enjoy the game. 7. Cheering Section Etiquette: We encourage enthusiastic participation in cheering for our teams. To ensure safety and order, please remain in the designated cheering areas. 8. Increased Security Presence: As part of our effort to ensure a safe environment for everyone, you’ll notice an increase in the number of security personnel and EPS staff and administrators at our events. Please help remind your students to be respectful to them, listen to their directions and follow our policies. As we’ve previously communicated, our commitment to maintaining a positive atmosphere requires responsible behavior from all attendees. Any disruption, disrespectful conduct towards community members, law enforcement officers, or school staff will result in immediate removal from the event. We value the collective enjoyment of our events and will not compromise on the experience for others. Again, thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we have worked to implement these changes. Creating a safe and secure environment for our students, faculty, staff and community continues to be our top priority. Edmond Public Schools Administration
