Normal Community High School

Hello Ironmen students, families, guardians, staff, and fans. A Reminder: You may have recently seen that Unit 5 is piloting a clear bag policy for all Varsity Football Games (post below). We wanted to share some additional detals to help you all prepare as we approach our home game on October 2nd. Here is the original Unit 5 post followed by additional information that is important to note:

Unit 5 is piloting a clear bag policy at varsity football games this season as part of our ongoing efforts to provide a safe and welcoming environment for fans.

Clear bag policies are widely used by other school districts in our conference and at many venues throughout our community. They make it easier for staff to quickly see what is being brought into the stadium while helping keep the entry process moving.

As we pilot this additional safety measure, please remember the clear bag policy applies to fans of all ages. We appreciate everyone working with us and look forward to a great season of football!

Additional Clear Bag Information to Help Prepare:
- Clear bags can be no larger than 12x6x12. A 1 gallon resealable bag is ok.
- Small clutch purses can be no larger than 4.5 x 6.5
- Diaper bags (when infant is present) and medically necessary equipment bags are allowed
- All bags are subject to search prior to entry

Game Entry Expectations:
- All Jr. High and High School students must have a current School ID to enter
- Elementary and Jr. High students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian the entire game. Students in Jr. High and Elementary should sit in the stands with their parent/guardian.
- No entry after halftime
- No readmission if one exits the stadium
- No pets (exception - service animals)
- All fans are asked to depart within 15 minutes after completion of the game
- All fans and students from schools other than NCHS will enter and sit on the Visitor Side

Prohibited Items (items not allowed to enter the stadium):
- Laser pointers, Air horns, Whistles, Bull horns, Speakers (audio)
- Outside food or drink
- Water bottles
- Sports balls (footballs, socccer balls, etc)
- Weapons of any kind (including concealed carry)
- Any items deemed dangerous or inappropriate
- No smoking or va**ng on school property

We will have visual reminders as fans approach the stadium. We appreciate your help and support as we prepare for our varsity home football games!
