WCUSD #5 Home Event Safety & Sportsmanship Reminder

We are excited to welcome our students, families, and community members to our home athletic events! Our goal is to provide a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment for everyone in attendance.

Please review and follow these expectations at all WCUSD #5 home events:

• FREE ADMISSION FOR WHS STUDENTS: All WHS students with a valid school ID will receive free admission into the game, except for tournaments or postseason events. 

• 8TH GRADE & YOUNGER: All students in 8th grade and younger must be accompanied by an adult when entering the event.

• NORTH END ZONE: Only youth football players in uniform are permitted as spectators behind the north end zone. No footballs or other sports equipment are allowed inside the stadium. Youth football players are expected to be a spectator at the game, and any inappropriate behavior may result in removal from the end zone viewing area. 

• STUDENT SECTION: All high school students are expected to remain in the designated student section while the game is being played, except when using the restroom or visiting the concession stand.

• SPORTSMANSHIP: Show respect toward home and visiting coaches, student-athletes, officials, staff, and fans at all times. We encourage everyone to bring the energy and support our Bulldogs! Please be courteous to visiting teams and fans and refrain from foul language, inappropriate behavior, or unsportsmanlike conduct.

• FOOD & DRINK: No outside food or beverages are permitted inside the stadium or gym.

• BAGS & BACKPACKS: For the safety of everyone in attendance, bags and backpacks are not permitted inside the stadium. Small personal items and necessary medical bags are permitted and may be subject to inspection.

Thank you for helping us create a safe, respectful, and positive game-day atmosphere for our student-athletes, coaches, families, and guests.
