The purpose of this letter is to inform the public of guidelines and procedures that will be in effect at Moon Area events at Tiger Stadium, District gymnasiums, and auditoriums. Our goal is to establish safe, fan-friendly venues that will allow everyone to comfortably enjoy student competitions and performances. It is with this goal in mind that the following procedures are being implemented beginning in the 2023-2024 school year.

Prohibited items in all venues include but are not limited to: 

• Coolers, backpacks, and bags (exception: medical and family needs such as a diaper bag)

• Bicycles or skateboards are not allowed in any school or at Tiger Stadium
• Per state law, smoking, vaping, or use of any tobacco products is strictly prohibited
• Outside food and beverages (exception: medical and family needs)
• Moon Area School District reserves the right to inspect clothing and belongings when deemed necessary

Additionally, proper behavior by students and spectators at all events is required. Please remember that student performances are part of their educational experience. Please be aware that abusive/profane behavior and language could result in removal from any event. This behavior can also result in possible exclusion from future events at the discretion of school officials and the Superintendent.
