Vance County Schools recommends, but will not require, a parent or guardian attend sports events with their middle school-age students.
According to information from VCS public information officer Aarika Sandlin, the district will place additional middle school staff to be on hand at high school sports events to make sure the VCS code of conduct is upheld.
“Our athletic events have been and will continue to be a family-oriented atmosphere where we encourage our community to come together to support our student athletes and our schools,” according to the press statement.
Sandlin reminds all parents, guardians and students that the code of conduct and school rules are in effect during all school-sponsored events, including athletics.
