[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would kids from another high school want to go a game. They have their own games to attend. A possible exception is people dating across schools - maybe there is an exception for that (I know my DC's school requires permission for kids from other schools to attend prom/homecoming as a date). And agree that kids 13 and under (middle schoolers) should not just be dropped off at event without some adult supervision. It really doesn't seem to be unreasonable at all.[/quote]

Do you have high school-aged kids? As others have noted, kids go to games at other schools for plenty of reasons. My private school kids have been to public school athletic events multiple times this fall - either to hang out with their friends who go to public school or to watch their club teammates play (that's the more common reason). I understand the concerns, but I don't have unlimited time to attend my kids' friends' high school games on the rare days when my own kids aren't playing. [/quote]

These kids are all connected and looking for age-appropriate things to do! I just looked at my kids’ club sport roster (this is the only sport these kids do) and came up with 13 public and private HS represented. More than one of which doesn’t have a football team. So they decide based on teams and locations and friends and head to a game. Chaperones do not have to be one to one, I did my duty with a group this weekend. [/quote]
