Do I have to Change for class?

YES!  Every student will have a gym locker assigned to them.  They are to 
keep a change of clothes in their locker. I recommend they use their
lockers and keep their locker combo in a safe spot. The supply list will
provide you with what your child should have to change into.

What if I'm unable to participate in class because I'm sick or injured?

A student missing class for 1 day because of illness or injury should 
have a written note from his/her parent or guardian excusing participation.

A student missing class for multiple days because of illness or injury must
supply the School nurse and Physical Education Instructors with a Doctor signed
request to excuse the student from activity for the time necessary to heal.

Can I still participate in class if I forgot clothes to change into?

Yes, students can still earn participation credit for the class activity
if they are wearing sneakers and clothing that still allows
safe and athletic movements.

No, if students are wearing inappropriate shoes....flip-flops, sandles, boots
or do not have the appropriate clothing for a Physical Education
class; such as dresses/skirts.
