Dear Parents/Guardians,

Another Warrior football season and fun-filled Friday nights on campus are upon us. Smithville High School has a proud tradition of strong community support as countless fans turn out to support our Warriors. The safety of students, staff, and visitors to our campuses is of the highest priority to the Smithville School District. In the interest of maintaining a safe environment, the following expectations are being required:

Students in grades PK-6 MUST be accompanied and supervised by an adult. PK-6 students should sit with their parents/guardians during the game.

Students will not be allowed to play ball or otherwise congregate to the west of the stadium (behind the home bleachers) or next to the concession stand.

Smithville Middle School students are asked to sit in the south section of the home bleachers. If a middle school student does not sit in the designated middle school section, they need to be accompanied by an adult and sit with them during the game.

Smithville High School students are encouraged to sit in the student section in the south section of the home bleachers.

No open flames and no parking on the grass if you choose to tailgate.
Just a reminder, we have gone to online ticketing, so no cash sales will be available. Adult tickets are $7, and student tickets are $5.
Smithville High School students are free with their student ID.
Children under 5 do not require a ticket for entry.
You may purchase your tickets at: https://smithville.hometownticketing.com/embed/all

Do not hesitate to ask a staff member for assistance if needed. Thank you for your support. We look forward to cheering on our Warriors!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Mellon
