PHYSICAL EDUCATION UNIFORM
Students are expected to dress for
physical education class every day.
T-shirts and shorts may be purchased
at the student store. Students may
also wear sweatpants and sweatshirts
for cold weather. All shirts and
shorts must have the student’s
FIRST and LAST name printed in
the white boxes with BLACK marker.
Students must also wear athletic
shoes and white socks (recommended
color) every day. For reasons of
safety and optimum performance,
shoes must be tightly laced and
tied. Day. day. Students cannot wear
clothing that they wear to school
underneath or over their physical
education uniform. The physical
education uniform should be taken
home each Friday to be laundered and
returned to school on Monday.
Students are not allowed to share
clothing and if they are caught
wearing another student’s uniform
they will be graded for the day as a
‘non-dress’.
HEALTH EXCUSES/ACCOMMODATIONS OF
PARTICIPATION
A note from a parent/guardian or
doctor is REQUIRED in order to be
excused from participating in class
activities. The following procedure
should be adhered to when a student
brings a health excuse to school: 1)
written note from a parent/guardian
must be presented to the school
nurse BEFORE advisory class, and 2)
the school nurse will issue a health
office referral form to be taken to
physical education class and
presented to the teacher. Parents
and physicians are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED
to confirm as to what the student
is still able to do (walk.
stretch, etc.) as opposed to
requesting total abstinence from
physical activity. Teachers will
make accommodations and modify
participation as needed. Our
district Parent Handbook states that
a parent/guardian may request up to
five days of modified activity. Over
five days of modified activity/and
or inactivity requires a doctor’s
note. Students with health excuses
are still required to dress for
class and to keep up with all class
assignments.
MAKE-UP ASSIGNMENTS
It is the student’s
responsibility to request
missing assignments after a school
absence. On Mondays and
Wednesdays from 3:15 pm – 4:00 pm
students may stay after school and
make up class assignments such as a
20 minute run, a timed mile, and an
obstacle course. All students should
check with their teacher
before staying after school to
make-up any work. Students need to
be dressed in their physical
education uniform in order to
participate in make-up assignments.
20 MINUTE RUN GRAPHS
All students will complete a
20 Minute Run Graph for the
Fall and the Spring Semester. A run
graph is a bar graph that records
that number of laps that the student
runs each Friday during our 20
minute runs. Several teachers
require that this run graph be kept
in a physical education notebook
called a ‘Sportfolio’. The graph is
collected at the end of each
semester. Sample run graphs are
posted in the office windows.
