Dear Families, 

We want to make you aware of additional safety measures at all post-season football games, which are part of our ongoing efforts to continuously enhance our layered security at FCPS. Our hope is that these new measures will enhance safety for everyone who attends our games.

Beginning this weekend, everyone attending a game will need to pass through the OpenGate weapons detection system. This is the same system that middle and high school students use every day during morning arrival.

Students in grades 9-12 who attend one of the two competing schools will need to:

• Check-in with their student ID at a designated location.
• Wear a wristband that identifies them with the home or away school, which the school will provide.

Anyone under the age of 18 who does not attend one of the two competing schools will need to:

• Check-in at the ID check location to receive a wristband that identifies them as not being from either the home or away school, which they must wear at all times.
• Stay with a parent or guardian for the entire game. A student without a parent or guardian at the game will not be admitted. There are no exceptions.

We recommend you arrive about an hour before a game starts to give yourself extra time to go through OpenGate and check-in. These new measures were created in coordination with our high schools, the FCPS Office of Safety and Security, and local law enforcement. Schools outside of FCPS may have different rules so please be sure to check if you are attending an away game.

Thank you for your partnership in helping your child follow these new measures. We also ask that you remind your child about appropriate behavior while they are at a football game.
