Superintendent Dr. Reed's Letter on Football Procedures

Dear Reynoldsburg Raiders,

I hope the first few weeks of school have treated you well and you’ve been able to settle into your back-to-school schedule. The start of the academic year means the start of the fall athletic season, and we are excited to host our first home football game on Friday, September 6. Your Reynoldsburg Raiders will host the Upper Arlington Golden Bears at the RHS Livingston Campus Stadium with kickoff at 7:00 p.m.

While we are excited to show we are #REYNProud and support our young athletes, it is our top priority that we do so in a family-friendly, inviting, and safe environment.

For information on all of our sporting events, including how to get tickets, schedules and more, please visit https://reynoldsburgraiders.org/. Tickets may be purchased online for $8 or for $10 at the gate with cash. Ticket sales for home football games will close during the third quarter of the game. Ticket prices may be subject to change. Under high-school age students need to be accompanied by an adult.

For those who are planning to attend the game in person, we want to reiterate some protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of our fans and players.

Reynoldsburg City Schools enforces a no-bag policy, which is limited to those 18 years old or younger. The duty to prove age will rest on the ticket holder. Furthermore, we will continue to deploy crowd control measures under the stands to encourage free movement, reduce congestion, and enhance safety.

To establish a standard of expected behaviors, signs are posted throughout the stadium. These posters are in place as reminders that home sporting events are a time for us to come together and support our Raiders while displaying pride in our community and schools. Some of these expectations include (but are not limited to):

  • Spectators are asked to remain seated in the stands during the game. Loitering or gathering in the aisles, concourses, ramps, entrances or exits is prohibited.

  • Smoking, including the use of electronic cigarettes or other intoxicants, or possession of alcohol are not permitted.

  • There will be no roughhousing, running, fighting, use of profanity, or acting in a manner considered to be: offensive, threatening, insulting, humiliating, embarrassing, disruptive, obscene, sexually explicit, gang related, or violent.

  • We will not permit nor condone unsafe, disruptive, or harmful behavior. Any violation of the student code of conduct or the creation of an unsafe environment or condition will be grounds for removal from the game without ticket reimbursement.

Together, we will create a positive image for visiting fans and a safe environment for students, staff, and community members. Please assist us by speaking to your child(ren) about appropriate and acceptable behavior while attending school sponsored events and remind them that no bags will be permitted in the stadium. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Go Raiders!

Sincerely,
Dr. Tracy R. Reed
Superintendent
Reynoldsburg City Schools
