Class Procedures

Arrive to class on time
Enter and Exit the locker rooms through the gymnasium.
Change into appropriate physical education attire. This means shorts, sweat pants or wind pants, and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. Follow the school dress code rules and
no hats. Dress appropriately for the weather. Jackets may be necessary. Tied sneakers are mandatory.
Follow the attendance procedure.
Respect all school, facility and unit rules both safety and behavioral.
Keep the locker room clean and neat.
No food, drinks, candy or gum is allowed at any time. These are safety hazards and we have many students with various food allergies. Water bottles are allowed
outdoors and inside with teacher permission..
Any assessments or class time missed due to illness, injuries or absences must be made up. See “Make Up Options”.
Any notes regarding health conditions or medical excuses must be brought directly to the nurse. Only excuses written by the nurse’s office will be accepted.
Students are responsible to have a pencil available in the locker room at all times.

Discipline Guidelines

The first warning is verbal
On the second warning, the student will be sent to a specified area where he/she must remain quiet until a teachers conference can be held to correct the
unacceptable behavior and determine consequences to be applied should the behavior persist.
The third warning will result in a detention. A form may be sent home with the student containing the behavior, date and time of the detention. This slip must be
returned the next school day signed by the parent/guardian. Any detention will require the student to give a written account of the behavior and steps for improvement.
Failure to sit quietly in the specified area or a fourth warning may require the removal of a student by the teacher or an administrator to the office. In this case the student will receive a detention and/or an office consequence.
Serious offenses will be dealt with immediately to step 4. Such offenses may include, fighting, bullying or harassment of any kind.
Any student who fails to return a detention slip or stay for his/her detention will receive double time and a phone call will be made to the home. Any further miss will result in notification to the office.
