Addressing Concerns
It is always best to handle concerns at the lowest level possible. This will ensure concerns are addressed in a timely and efficient manner. Our faculty and coaching staff are trained professionals, dedicated to supporting their students. Please give the teachers and coaches an opportunity to resolve issues at the classroom level first.
Step 1. If your concern involves your student’s teacher or coach, please email that teacher or coach first. You may request a conference or try to resolve the issue via email.
Step 2. If after attempting to resolve your concern with the teacher or coach you feel your concern is not resolved, please contact the appropriate grade-level assistant principal.
Step 3. If after attempting to resolve your concern first with the teacher and second with the appropriate grade-level assistant principal you feel your concern is not adequately addressed, please involve the principal, Mrs. Jeanne Greer. Appointments may be made through the office manager, Mrs. Laurie McGuffey, laurie.mcguffey@hsv-k12.org.

You will NOT be able to purchase tickets at home games with cash. As with last year, you will not be charged with a parking fee for any home games.
You must have a mobile device to show your purchased tickets when entering the stadium. These are Mobile Only tickets which means your ticket must be presented on a mobile device for entry into the event. The ticket taker at the game will redeem your ticket by selecting the tickets and pressing the ‘Redeem Now’ button on your mobile device screen.
Clear Bag Policy
HCS also enforces a clear bag policy for home games. Please see information regarding this at the following link under Athletic Event Bag Procedures: Athletics & Extracurricular Activities | Huntsville City Schools
