Breaking the Cycle
TRACK & BASEBALL PARKING
Parents, students, all spectators -
Clearly the parking situation has forever changed at the facilities on the hill. With the construction of the new SMS, we lost about 100 spots that were close and convenient. We will not gain those back any time soon. While it does hurt to lose the parking, the addition of the new Spencer Middle School makes it worth the mild inconvenience.
When it comes to event days (Baseball and Track) I have asked the coaches to make sure their athletes do not park behind the stadium. We want to make sure that these spots are reserved for handicapped and elderly fans. With all the mud from the construction, it is impossible to see any painted lines, so I am asking ALL, simply police yourselves. While it may be easy and convenient for parents and others to park behind the stadium, it is not the right thing to do.
I am simply asking all RCHS fans, parents, and spectators this;
DO NOT PARK BEHIND THE STADIUM UNLESS YOU HAVE A HADICAP TAG OR YOU NEED TO PARK CLOSE DUE TO PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS.
Thank you all for your continued support of RCHS and the Raider Nation
