POINT SYSTEM

ATTIRE

Students should wear t-shirts or fitness gear and shorts or sweats. No flannel pants or pajamas. Always wear comfortable gym shoes with a thick rubber sole that will not scuff the hard wood floors when indoors, and running shoes or cleats when outdoors on the track or fields. All shoelaces should be tied tight. Failure to adhere to this will count as a non-dress.

NON-DRESSES

Students will receive one grading point for every two non-dresses. In addition, non-dresses will be dealt with as follows:
1 Non Dress = Warning
2 Non Dress = 2nd Warning
3 Non Dress = Referral/Parent Contact
4 Non Dress = Referral-Saturday School
5 Non Dress = Removal from class / Parent Conference

P.E. MAKE-UPS

Make-ups are offered every Tuesday at 7:30 A.M. and 3:30 P.M. and Wednesday s at 3:30 P.M. Students needing make-ups should meet the instructor in the main gym lobby by the trophy cases. Make-ups are worth one point.

ILLNESS / INJURY

The school nurse must confirm all illness or injuries. The instructor will not accept parent or doctor notes. All such notes must be taken to the school nurse. Students are only excused from participation if they have a note from the school nurse. This policy includes injuries sustained through athletics. If the trainer has treated you, please see the school nurse and explain the injury to her.
