PE Uniform You MUST change your clothes for PE class. If you do not come to class on time with the proper clothes in the same quarter, your effort grade could be negatively affected. If you forget your uniform ONCE- You get a NO CLOTHES note written next to your name. If you forget your uniform TWICE- email TO YOUR PARENTS goes home If you forget your uniform THREE TIMES- your EFFORT GRADE goes DOWN by one point ( For example from 3 to 2) If you have not yet bought your PE uniform, or cannot bring it to class , ANY CHANGE OF SHIRT AND SHORTS is BETTER THAN NOTHING

What You Need to Be Excused from Class If you are injured or cannot participate for a legitimate reason, you must have a note signed by your parent or guardian. A long term injury requires an official doctor’s note to say that you are unable to participate due to medical reasons and your grade is not affected.

Behavioral Expectations All students are expected to be respectful and courteous to the teacher and their classmates. This means LISTENING when the teacher is talking, FOLLOWING instructions, and BEING SUPPORTIVE of your peers.

We want PE class to be a positive experience for everyone. WORK HARD TRY YOUR BEST HAVE FUN!
