Ellensburg High School has issued new safety guidelines for football game attendees, effective immediately. The athletic department requires all elementary and middle school students to be accompanied by an adult at all times, with unsupervised children denied entry.

The guidelines also direct fans to designated spectator areas, restrict movement near the soccer field, and request that all attendees remain for the full game duration. Ellensburg Police Department officers will be present at EHS and Valley View parking lots, with SRO Clayton Self and EPD reserve officers on duty, according to the notice.
