Locker Room

When you enroll in P.E., you will be assigned a locker. No other student has the combination to this locker. You are responsible to memorize the combination. DO NOT GIVE THIS COMBINATION TO ANY OTHER PERSON. (Sometimes people who we trust today, are not trustworthy tomorrow)

This locker is for your use when you are in P.E. or athletics. Do not use it to store other personal items or school materials. Neither teachers, M.P., nor the district are responsible for items left in your locker.

Do not bring food into the locker room or leave it in your locker. The smell of food attracts ants, cockroaches, and other pests.

Earning Your Points:

Attending class on time each day

Dressing out in the correct uniform each day

Tardiness

In order to be counted "on time to class", you must be in your roll call number when the tardy bell rings. The school tardy policy is enforced in Physical Education. Participation points are lost each time you are tardy without a written excuse from a staff member.

Medical Excuses

If you are unable to participate fully in P.E. due to medical reasons, you are required to provide:

A note from your parent or guardian, including daytime phone number (You must dress out)

A note from a physician which indicates the extent of your limitations. (You must dress out unless specified by the doctor)

If you are unable to do any physical activity, you may be given a written or other alternation assignment. Failure to complete your assignment will be counted as non-participation Excessive tardiness results in phone calls home and referral to the office.
