Homecoming may traditionally be a high school event, but we want our middle school students to feel like they’re part of the celebration too!
For just $5, middle school students can join us for a fun afternoon of snacks, music, yard games, and time to hang out with friends. The tailgate will run from after school until 5:30 p.m., giving students the opportunity to enjoy the festivities before heading to the evening games.
Even better—students who attend the tailgate will receive FREE admission to the high school Field Hockey and Soccer games!
🏑 Field Hockey Game: 4:00 p.m.
⚽ Soccer Game: 6:00 p.m.
Important: Students in 6th and 7th grade must have an adult with them in order to attend either game.
We hope our middle school students will come out, have fun with their friends, and help us celebrate Homecoming together! 🎉
Here are the contracts for the Middle School Tailgate. https://docs.google.com/document/d/175lkTOwXA-Wgjv8EtuhnZNvKQ3bA-g9i/view?usp=sharing&ouid=101635234311132886842&rtpof=true&sd=true

Talbot County Public Schools will pilot a weapons detection screening system at all varsity football games at Easton High School and all varsity soccer games at St. Michaels Middle High School, beginning with the home games scheduled for Friday, September 4.
As part of this enhanced safety measure, all spectators (including TCPS staff) will be subject to security screening prior to entering the venue. If additional screening is needed, a handheld security wand may also be used. Student spectators are not permitted to bring backpacks, book bags, or other large bags into the venue. Bags carried by adult spectators are permitted but are subject to security screening and inspection.
Thank you for your support as we work to enhance safety measures for our students, staff and community.
