Dear Marshwood Families,

We love seeing our students, families, and community come together to support Marshwood High School and Middle School athletics! These events are a great opportunity to show school spirit, cheer on our student-athletes, and have fun together. We need your help and partnership to ensure that our events remain safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone.

Recently, we have experienced some challenging situations at our athletic contests, including injuries and other incidents that have raised concerns about spectator safety and supervision. To help us continue offering positive experiences for our students, families, and fans, we ask that everyone review and follow the expectations below for all athletic events held at Marshwood High School and Marshwood Middle School. Effective Immediately: 

• Students in Grade 8 and below must attend with a responsible adult who remains in attendance at the event. This may be a parent, guardian, family member, or another authorized adult. A current Marshwood student, including an older sibling, does not qualify as the accompanying adult. We require an adult to be present to supervise and speak on behalf of these students if an injury, incident, or other concern arises. Given the incidents we have experienced, we cannot allow students in Grade 8 and below to attend without an accompanying adult. Admission will not be permitted unless the adult is present and remains at the event.

• Students must remain in designated spectator areas where they can watch the game. Loitering is not permitted in areas outside the view of the event, including behind the high school bleachers, in fields beyond fenced-off areas, or in school hallways during indoor games and contests.

• Smoking and vaping are prohibited at all times on Marshwood School District grounds and inside all district facilities. This expectation applies to all students, families, and spectators attending our events.

• Outside food and beverages may not be brought into event areas.

Thank you for your partnership in helping us provide a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment for our student-athletes, families, and fans. We appreciate your cooperation, understanding, and continued support of Marshwood athletics. By working together, we can ensure that our events remain a fun and welcoming place for our entire community.

Thank you for being part of the Marshwood community! Go Hawks!

Sincerely,

Caroline Arakelian
