St. James R-1 Schools Image

The 2023-2024 school year has begun and fall sports are officially underway. Crowds can be large at many games, so we want to review expected student behavior during sporting events. The safety of our students and event patrons is important, so please read over the following expectations at school functions. 

  • Elementary-aged children must sit with their parents or guardians during all games (football, volleyball, basketball, etc.). 
  • High school and middle school students must sit with a parent or guardian unless they are seated in areas designated for students in the bleachers. 
  • All children are expected to sit and watch the game and should not be running around, playing behind the bleachers, under the bleachers, on the football practice field, on the track, rolling down hills, etc. The wooded areas and grass areas at the stadium are not to be used or played on during a school event. 
  • In addition, kicking or throwing balls, bottles, seat cushions, etc., inside or around the stadium or gymnasium is prohibited. 
  • No footballs, soccer balls, frisbees, or any other ball, large toy, or play item should be brought inside the stadium or gymnasium.
  • These expectations will apply at away competitions as well. 

If we all work together, the games will be enjoyable, memorable, and safe events for everyone. We appreciate your support and hope to see you at the games cheering for the Tigers and Lady Tigers!
