clothes, use the bathroom and take attendance. Once outside we will remain
there until the end of class. Before beginning the activity we will run, stretch, and
then participate in the days activities which can include small games and skill
work, cool down and change back to school clothes in the last five minutes of
class. After you change, please return to the gym and stay there until
the bell rings.

Uniform for class Dress according to the weather. We will go outside right
through the month of October, so bring a sweatshirt and pants for cold days and
extra sneakers and socks if you have morning PE. Appropriate clothes include
short sleeve tee shirts, athletic shorts of an appropriate length, tied sneakers,
sweatshirts or sweatpants. Teachers have the final say in what is appropriate.

Only students with pre-signed passes from PE teachers will be

permitted into the gym during a class period that is not his/her own.

volleyball, badminton, ping pong, floor hockey, fitness, bowling, basketball,
softball, and tennis. The use of the track is at the teachers discretion.

after school. Please be responsible and contact your teacher to make up the class.
