MCPS sets identification and chaperone rules for athletic events
MCPS students attending athletic events must carry a student ID or StudentVUE schedule. Elementary and middle students and high schoolers from non-participating schools need an adult chaperone; backpacks and re-entry are barred.
What families can doBring the required identification and arrange an adult chaperone when the student's grade or school status requires one. Leave backpacks at home and plan around the no-reentry rule.
The facts
- A required adult chaperone must remain at the event and supervise the student throughout.
- Spectators must stay in the stands or designated student sections and follow staff and security directions.
