DeForest Area High School athletes enjoy positive support from their fellow students, parents and the community. We continue to welcome elementary and middle school students to the high school games and we want to create the best possible circumstances for their safety.

In order to maintain a safe environment at our home football games, the following practices will be enforced:

1. Elementary and middle school students need to be accompanied by an adult in order to gain entrance into the stadium and the adult must supervise the students who they bring to the game. It is important that school personnel managing the event have the ability to contact an adult on site if there is a concern.
2. “Carry ins” by all spectators will not be allowed. Items include bottled or canned beverages, soda fountain cups, footballs, frisbees, etc.
3. Backpacks, purses, and other bags are subject to search.
4. All students are expected to be in the stadium seats cheering for the Norskies.
5. For everyone’s safety, no football games or similar activities that would encourage running and throwing of objects are allowed.
6. Always exhibit good sportsmanship:
   • Be quiet and respectful during the National Anthem and School Songs.
   • Never boo or yell at officials or opposing players.
   • Cheer for the Norskies!
