We continue to modify our practices at events to ensure safe and welcoming environments for both learning and activities.

At ISD 728 football games, our young fans - from elementary through middle school, will not be allowed to attend without a parent, guardian or supervising adult in attendance.

Additionally, and as a reminder, once a spectator has left the stadium, they will not be allowed to re-enter.

ISD 728 also will not allow: bags, balls, outside beverages, pets, props, face paint, signs, flags, or other items that may create a disruption during the game.

Please note - due to liability, we will no longer be storing student bags at football games. Students must make plans to store their bags elsewhere prior to the game.

Students can scan a QR code at the stadium or gym to purchase a season pass through GoFan for $10 plus fees ($12.50).
