In an intentional effort to keep everyone safe at our home events this year, we ask that you review our spectator code of conduct. Students who are currently serving a suspension are not permitted at school athletic events. Students who violate these rules at a school event are subject to school discipline. Both students and guests who behave in a manner that is inappropriate or disruptive may be removed and restricted from future athletic events. For the safety of all guests, metal detectors may be used at the gate and spectators who exit will not be allowed reentry.

Seating:

• Football: All fans must be either seated in the stands or standing/sitting along the fence line watching the game, unless you are going to the restroom or the concessions stand. Be expected to be redirected if you are not in these authorized areas.

• Volleyball/Basketball/Wrestling: All fans must be seated in the stands unless you are going to the restroom or the concessions stand. The area behind the players benches will be labeled as "event personnel only". Fans must be seated on the opposite side of the gym. There will be no congregating or horse playing in the lobby. Be expected to be redirected if you are not in these authorized areas.

• Baseball/Softball/Soccer/Tennis: Fans may be seated in the bleachers or their own personal chairs & blankets. Fans may stand along the fencing/spectator areas. Children/fans should not congregate in unsupervised areas, toss balls that could strike other guests, enter wooded areas, climb trees, or utilize the batting cages.

Morning Drop Off:
Please drop your student off in the guidance parking lot loop. If they arrive prior to 8AM, they will report to the café until the bell rings. No students may be dropped of on the auditorium side of the building due to student drivers and foot traffic on that side of campus. Students should not be dropped off prior to 7:45AM.

Afternoon Pick Up:

Please enter the Death Valley Parking Lot and park to wait for your child. Students will be released at 3:15 to proceed to that area for pick up. Students may not enter vehicles that are stopped in the road or in any other area deemed unsafe. School staff and a deputy will be present to assist you with any questions you have.

After School Pick Up:

If you are picking your student up from an after-school activity, please ensure you park in one of the parking spaces in a designated parking lot to wait for your child. We must keep our bus loop clear in the evenings so that our remediation buses may pass through safely.

Randolph-Henry High School will continue the Statesmen Care program thanks to the donations of our generous community. Our main hall restrooms feature a donation shelf for personal care products to be used by our young men and women. By placing these items in the restrooms, students can discreetly obtain what is needed without the embarrassment of having to ask. We hope that with the continuation of this program all of our Statesmen will feel fresh and ready to learn each day! Being clean and healthy builds confidence, promotes good attendance, and can help prevent bullying. Students will be allowed to take what they need free of charge and with no questions asked. Donations can be dropped off at the school between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday-Friday. For more information, you may contact Mrs. Davis, Principal of Randolph-Henry High School, at 434-542-4111.

Suggested items: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, lotion, toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouth wash, brushes/combs, lip balm, menstruation items, and cleansing wipes. *Please no razors or wax.

We also offer a Statesmen Supply Cart for students who may run out of a needed item during the school day. Basic supplies such as paper, pens, notecards, and pencils are free of charge for all students. School supply donations are accepted throughout the year.

A Dress for Success Closet!

Students who need to prepare for an interview, dress up for a school competition/event, or those who simply need an emergency change of clothes will have some options available to them at RHHS. Due to limited storage we are not able to accept bags of clothing at this time. Suggested items: A gift card or monetary donation so that we may purchase what students need in the appropriate size.
