Spectator Policy for Games at DMCS

Dear DMC Families,

Monday marks the beginning of our first indoor interschool athletics season of play for the year. Please note the following for all games played at Dr. Martha Cohen School.

DMC Students:

• DMC students will be able to view the first home game (4:30pm start) without parent/guardian supervision.   Students are to remain in the main gym watching the game.
• Once the first game is complete, school administration will help all DMC students without a parent/guardian leave the building.
• DMC students will need to be directly supervised by a parent/guardian if they would like to stay and/or return at any point after the first game is complete.
• DMC  students are expected to be in the main gym watching the game(s) and supporting all players/coaches/referees/parents/guardians in a positive manner.  Any student who is not meeting the CBE Student Code of Conduct will be escorted out of the gym and school and may lose future viewing privileges.

Students From Other Schools:

• Will not be admitted into the school, for any game(s), unless accompanied by a parent/guardian who stays for the duration of the time the student is in the building.
• Once teams from other schools have completed their games for the evening, all players must exit the building, unless accompanied by a parent/guardian who stays for the duration of the time the student is in the building.
• Student athletes who arrive before their coaches will be asked to wait at the benches in the main foyer until their coach arrives.

All Parents and Guardians:

• All parents/guardians are welcome to attend all games at DMC.
• Parents/guardians who bring family members under the age of 18 are expected to supervise their child(ren) in the main gym.
• All parents/guardians are expected to cheer/support all payers/coaches/referees/parents/guardians in a positive manner.
• If parents/guardians are engaging in any inappropriate behaviour directed towards players/coaches/referees/other parents/guardians/school staff or school administration, the game will be paused and the parent/guardian will be asked to stop.  If the inappropriate behaviour continues, the game will be stopped again and will not re-start until the parent/guardian leaves the gym and school property. If removed, the parent/guardian may lose future viewing privileges at DMC.

Our main goal is to provide a safe and fun opportunity for students.

• The players are kids.
• The coaches are volunteers.
• The referees are human.

Thank you.
