Dear Bulldog Family,
On behalf of USD 284, I want to begin by expressing our sincere appreciation for the tremendous support our parents and community provide for our students and programs. Attendance at our home events is outstanding, and we are especially grateful for the many parents and community members who travel to away contests to cheer on our students. Your involvement and school pride make a meaningful difference and contribute greatly to the positive experiences our students have while representing our district.
With that support comes an important responsibility. Sportsmanship and positive interactions are essential to the culture of USD 284 and play a significant role in how our school district is perceived by other schools, officials, and communities. Our students are always representing our schools, whether at home or away, and the behavior of adults in the stands reflects directly on them and our district.
We must hold ourselves accountable for keeping our emotions under control and modeling appropriate behavior for our students. Athletics and activities are emotional by nature, but how we respond in those moments matters. Students learn far more from what we do than from what we say, and it is critical that we demonstrate respect, composure, and integrity—even during challenging situations.
Our Bulldog pride is something special, and it should always be visible in the way we support our students and teams. Letting that pride shine in positive ways—through encouragement, respect, and sportsmanship—strengthens our school culture and sets an example our students can be proud to follow. At the same time, we must be mindful that when emotions overrun judgment, Bulldog pride can become overshadowed or diverted in ways that are detrimental to our students, our programs, and our district’s reputation. True Bulldog pride is demonstrated not only in our passion but in our ability to remain composed, respectful, and supportive, even in moments of disappointment or adversity.
USD 284 follows the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) sportsmanship guidelines, specifically Rule 52 (see summary below), and our administration will enforce these rules at all activities and events. There are consequences for fans who violate sportsmanship rules that our administration must enforce and uphold. These consequences may include not being allowed to attend home events. Officials are in charge of the game or contest, and spectators should never address officials in any manner. Officials, like all of us, are human. They will miss calls, make mistakes, and occasionally have a bad game. Regardless of how an official is performing, there is never a reason or excuse to yell at or be disrespectful toward them.
Missed calls are part of athletics, just as there will be “bad calls” in the game of life. These moments provide valuable lessons for our students about how to handle adversity, disappointment, and frustration. It is our responsibility as adults to model how to respond appropriately when things do not go our way.
We are fortunate to be part of a strong and supportive community, and each of us plays an important role in the education of our students—both in and outside the classroom. By working together and upholding high standards of sportsmanship, we ensure that USD 284 continues to be a place where students can grow, learn, and compete in a positive and respectful environment.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our students and our school district.
KSHSAA Rule 52 Summary:
KSHSAA Rule 52 is the Kansas State High School Activities Association’s fundamental Citizenship/Sportsmanship Rule. It emphasizes positive conduct, respect for rules, officials, opponents, and self-control in all school activities. The rule promotes acting for your school rather than against opponents, winning with character, and demonstrating good citizenship through courteous actions, such as helping opponents and respecting the National Anthem.
Key Principles of Rule 52:
1. Thinking & Behaving: Sportsmanship is a mindset and a way of acting.
2. Respect: Show courtesy to everyone (participants, coaches, officials, staff, and fans).
3. Know & Follow Rules: Understand rules and respect officials’ decisions.
4. Character: Win with character and lose with dignity.
5. Appreciation: Applaud good plays from any team.
6. Self-Control: Exercise self-control and positively represent your school.
7. “For Your School”: All actions should support your school, not oppose an opponent.
Sincerely,
USD 284 Administration
