FYI

The safety of our students, their families, our faculty and community remains a top priority for our district. In coordination with neighboring St. Charles County districts, FHSD is implementing new clear bag guidelines to help enhance safety and security at ticketed high school athletic events.

Starting this month, guests will be asked to follow the District’s new bag guidelines.

These guidelines will feel familiar to many, as they are comparable to those mandated at many collegiate and professional athletic events.

Ticketed high school athletic events include all levels of football, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, JV/V soccer, JV/V lacrosse and track invitationals.

Thank you for helping us keep our athletic events safe and welcoming for our students, families and community.
