Anthony Wayne Community Members,
We are excited to welcome fans of the Anthony Wayne Generals to our fall athletics contests. This letter will provide you with important information related to the safety of our student-athletes, coaches, game officials and spectators.
District staff collaborate with local law enforcement and first responders to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Please see below for the steps you can take to ensure you and your family are prepared in the event of severe weather or other emergency at an athletics event.
- Keep an eye on the forecast and weather conditions. Lightning or other severe weather conditions may delay or cancel an event.
- Make a plan. We encourage families to enjoy athletic contests and other school activities together. Please designate a meet-up location, should you get separated.
- Be attentive. Event delay or cancellation information and evacuation instructions will be communicated if situations arise. Listen for announcements and follow the directions of school administrators, game officials and law enforcement.
- Be patient and cooperative. Changes of plans are frustrating and emergencies can be scary. Please work with school administrators and law enforcement to help ensure the safety of the student participants and all spectators in attendance. Information and further instructions will be communicated as soon as they are available.
- If you see something, say something. Report any suspicious activity or items to event workers, school personnel or law enforcement. In the event of immediate danger, call 9-1-1.
In the case of inclement weather or any other emergency requiring evacuation of the athletics facilities, the following areas of safety have been identified:
