Brigade families,

This post is a reminder about the pet policy on Prince William County Schools (PWCS) athletic fields.  Pets are not permitted on PWCS athletic fields.   This includes, but is not limited to, Gainesville Middle School.  The same rule applies to the Grizzly Sports Complex.  

There are notices on all PWCS school grounds alerting pet owners about this policy.

Please do not bring your pets to any schools fields.  We anticipate this will be the policy at all fields Brigade teams will practice and/or play on this Fall and upcoming Spring.  

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
