Athletic Event Expectations

Dear Easton Area School District Families,

This communication is a reminder about spectator expectations at all Easton Area School District after-school events. 

Easton receives unparalleled support from the student body and community at after-school athletic events. With that in mind, it is important that we remind all those who attend after-school events of our expectations for fan behavior. 

The Easton Area School District expects all who attend an after-school event to be respectful and encouraging in their approach to all athletes, officials, coaches, and fellow spectators. 

Outlined below are a few reminders for those in attendance at after-school athletic contests.

EASD Spectator Code of Conduct & Expectations

• Be a good role model.
• Respect the officials, coaches, athletes, parents, administrators, game personnel, and spectators.
• Do not engage in discriminatory or threatening behavior.
• Use positive and appropriate language.
• Encourage a safe and fair environment for all players, coaches, officials, and spectators.
• No bullying, fighting, smoking, use of alcohol/tobacco/vaping/illegal substances at any time.
• Failure to follow these guidelines may result in removal from the event, school disciplinary consequences, and/or criminal charges.

Additionally, all Easton Area School District school rules remain in effect during all after-school events.

Students in attendance at athletic events are expected to watch the games and cheer.

Students should not be loitering around the event venue, congregating in large groups outside of the stands, or engaged in activities that are otherwise inappropriate or unsafe.
