Football Game Guidelines
We anticipate a large crowd for our varsity home football games in the coming weeks. We wanted to take a moment to remind you that the following guidelines to ensure that all of our guests, students, and parents enjoy the true spirit of the event:
- Lake Braddock Secondary School is a drug, alcohol, and tobacco-free zone.
- Guests will not be allowed to enter the stadium with containers such as water bottles, cups, cans, coolers, etc.
- Guests will not be allowed to enter the stadium with backpacks or large bags, or sporting equipment (footballs, soccer balls, etc.).
- Once you leave the stadium, there is no re-entry to the event
- Representatives from the Fairfax County Police Department, the Lake Braddock Administration, and the Lake Braddock Security Staff will be on hand to ensure a safe and secure environment for both Lake Braddock fans and for our visitors and guests.
- Lake Braddock students and parents are asked to demonstrate good citizenship and spirited sportsmanship to our opponents and their fans. Let's show everyone why Bruin Nation is the class of the Region!
Thank you in advance for your adherence to these guidelines.

Oops-I-Forgot-It-Closet
Did you know the school has an "Oops-I-Forgot-It-Closet" in the Main Office? There are just some of those days where your student has forgotten their lunch, books, laptop or other essential items. You may drop off forgotten items in this closet for your student to pick up, but please take note of the following:
- It's up to you to notify your student that you've dropped off the item for their pick-up. Send them a text or call them on their cell phones.
- Please write your student's name and the day's date on the item.
- Items must be picked up no later than the end of the school day.
- We dispose of lunches at the end of each day, as (unfortunately) we've discovered many food items spoil. If the lunch was packaged in a lunchbox, the lunchbox will be sent to the Lost and Found (in cafeteria) for retrieval.
- At the end of the school week ALL ITEMS will be sent to the Lost and Found.
Halloween Festivities
Families are invited to join us for a safe and fun Trunk-or-Treating on the parking lot by the fields on Wednesday, October 30th from 6-7 p.m. The cost is $3/child or $5/families. All proceeds go to support the Class of 2020/21/22/23. This fun event will be followed by SGA’s Screen on the Green at 7 p.m. on the front field. We will be showing the movie, Halloweentown. Hope to see you there!
