Dear District 50 Families, Please see the information below about student attendance guidelines for WCHS home football games to help in partnering with the high school for a positive football season experience. The spring 2021 football season has started, and the first home varsity football game is this Friday. Keeping our players and spectators as safe as possible is very important, so we have put together some guidelines for student fans attending a game in-person. Fans can watch the game from home on March 26 by visiting ClutchSportsIL.com or linking to their Clutch Sports YouTube channel. - Only those with a ticket obtained from the high school in advance may attend varsity home football games due to limited capacity. There will be NO tickets available at the gate. - Non-WCHS students who are under the age of 18 must have an adult accompany them into the game and remain with them in the stands. Students will not be allowed to leave the stands and congregate in other areas of the stadium during this football season. - WCHS high school students with a school ID will be allowed to attend the game without an accompanying adult. We appreciate the excitement of our younger fans in the community, and it is very important that they are supervised by an adult while attending games. Thank you for supporting WCHS, and we look forward to seeing some of our future Panthers. Sincerely, Kyle Freeman Superintendent of WCHS District #308
