2. SPYA is required to have an adult at every practice and game to monitor the gym entrance and hallways around the gym.
3. No person is to prop any door open at any time for any reason.
4. No family is to drop their children at any gym without verifying that a coach is on site.
5. Do not allow your children to go onto the school stages or play with the phones that are in the hallways.
