PROWL expectations in the locker rooms
As eighth graders, not all of the students will be taking physical education.
However, many office referrals come from bad choices students make
while in the locker room, so it is worth discussing.
Lockers: It is important that students put their belongings in their locker
and lock it. Many students report items being stolen from the locker room
and upon investigation it is determined that the student(s) left their
belongings out on a bench instead of taking the time to put them in a
locker.

Horse-play: Often times, students get excited while playing games in PE.
This is wonderful! We want PE to be a class in which students can expend
energy and learn teamwork and leadership. Students must understand
that when they come into the locker room, they need to calm down and
not engage in horse-play. What starts as just friendly “playing around” all
too soon turns to aggressive behavior that can end in a fight. If this
happens, both students involved will get an office referral and SAC.

Teasing: Teasing is something that can happen in
both the boys and girls locker rooms. The
expectation at Cedar Valley is that no one will engage
in teasing, however, if you see or hear this happening
in the locker room, or anywhere else on campus, it is
your responsibility to report it to an adult.
