What do I do if my lock is lost?

Please go to one of the PE teachers and they will help you find your lock.  
Each lock has a serial number on the back of them and that is your lock's 
identification number, it's like your lock's name.  If you cannot find your 
lock you need to pay for the lock you lost and you will be given another 
lock.  Please do not go out and buy a lock from another store, the locks we 
issue have keyholes so that we have access to your locker should you get 
hurt or forget to put your lock back on your locker.

What type of PE clothes can I wear when the weather is cold?

Students may wear sweats when the weather turns cold.  They must be  either 
blue, white or gray. Sweats that have snaps or zippers all the way down 
the legs are not allowed due to safety reasons.

What happens if I choose not to dress for PE?

Students are offered loaner clothes if they forget their clothes at home, 
they must have an ID card to borrow.  If they still refuse to dress for 
class, they will be sent up to the office and receive two hours of 
Friday school for refusing to dress.  Students who make it a habit of 
borrowing loaner clothes may be assigned detention.

Are we allowed to wear hats during PE?

Students are allowed to wear hats in Physical Education as long as they have 
a 360 degree bill on them, (a bill that goes all the way around like a 
cowboy hat or a lifeguard hat).  During the winter months we also allow the 
students to wear beanies.  The students are not allowed to wear these items 
during the school day, only in their Physical Education class.

Why is their homework in PE?

There is homework in Physical Education, because we are working ALL parts of 
your body.  Not only do you have to move in Physical Education, but you 
have to use your head in Physical Education. Homework assignments help us 
to reinforce the cognitive components that are taught in class.  There are 
three areas that students are graded or assessed on.  The first area is 
movement skills, the physical things that we do in class.  The second area 
is social skills, this is how students treat each other, their teacher and how 
they interact with other students.  The third area is cognitive skills.  The 
brain part of you body which students use to complete weekly homework and 
occasional tests and quizzes.
