Public Event Entry Requirements

To provide a safe environment for all, effective January 2, 2024, Roanoke County Public Schools (RCPS) middle and high schools will introduce the following procedures for guest events (these include athletic competitions, performances, concerts and any event where the public is invited to attend):

• Only clear bags allowed (exceptions made for small clutches 4.5” x 6.5”, medical supplies, and diaper bags may be searched)
• No outside food or drinks allowed
• All elementary and middle school age students must be accompanied by an adult at all times
• No re-entry for ticketed events (exception for events with all-day passes)

These restrictions exclude players, participants, officials, and authorized individuals.

Event staff, with the support of school administrators, will enforce these procedures.  Those violating these procedures may be denied entry or may be asked to leave school property.
