Student Attendance & Supervision at Home Sporting Events

We love seeing our students at home sporting events, cheering on the Falcons!
Please remember that students in grades K-8 must be supervised by an adult. The adult doesn't need to be the student's parent but does need to acknowledge being responsible for the student.
Upper School students may attend sporting events without adult supervision.
