FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILD IT 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.
