IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES: 1. Students will wear
tennis shoes during P.E. (no flip-flop, backless, high platform or
slip-one style shoes, boots or crocs will be allowed). 2. Shoes
must be tied; tucking in loose laces may cause injury to your child
or others. 3. Shorts must be worn under dresses and skirts.
Students who do not comply with the dress code will be doing an
alternate P.E. activity for that day. **Gym shoes may be stored in
back packs or lockers for a quick change. If your child is injured
or ill, he/she must have a note (from home) to be excused from P.E.
activities. After five days, a doctor's note will be required
specifying the length of time he/she will be excused. CITIZENSHIP
