ALPENA — Alpena Public Schools seeks to reinforce attendance expectations for all athletic events, according to a news release from the APS.

In the release, the district wanted to remind students, families, and the community that attendees have an obligation to behave in a manner that allows for safe and enjoyable experiences for all fans.

“Alpena High School Athletic Events are a source of pride for the district and community,” APS Athletic Director Jon Studley said in the statement. “We strongly encourage student, parent and community attendance and participation at sporting events. These are school events so we expect all those in attendance to demonstrate appropriate behavior and language that allows a family friendly positive viewing experience for all.”

∫ Parents are reminded that any students in eighth grade or younger must be accompanied by their parent or guardian for admission to any AHS sporting events.

∫ The adult accompanying the student needs to be in attendance and monitor the behavior of their child for the duration of the event.

∫ Disruptive attendees of any age are subject to ejection from any event.

“We encourage parents to talk to their children as well as model good sportsmanship and respectful behavior as a fan and spectator at all school sporting events,” Studley said.
