Kids Must Have Adult At East Haven High School Sports Events

EAST HAVEN, CT — East Haven Public Schools' Athletic Director Anthony Verderame notified families about a new measure to "ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students."

Per the new rule from the athletic department, all students in grades K to 8 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian or supervising adult at all East Haven High School athletic events, beginning with the home football game on Friday night," Verderame wrote in a message to families.

High school students will be required to show their school ID to enter, he noted. And, Verderame added that, "Outside of a small purse, there will be no coolers, backpacks, or bags allowed into the events."

"We strive to provide a fun, enjoyable and safe environment for all our fans and appreciate your support in making our athletic events as enjoyable an environment as possible," Verderame wrote.
