Why can't we wear jewelry in class?

Jewelry is a safety hazard. In order to prevent students from injuring themselves or others we do not allow any jewelry to be worn during class. Please keep this in mind before any new piercings are done, you will be asked to remove them.

Why do I have to have written tests and assignments?

This is another method that we use to evaluate your understanding of information that is presented in class. At the same time, it allows us to integrate language arts skills which in turn, will reinforce student learning.

How is my participation grade calculated?

Each day of class you have the ability to keep 20 participation points. If you keep all your points, your weekly participation grade will be 100 points. The weekly participation points are averaged to achieve the final participation grade. Failure to come prepared for class and lack of participation in class activities will cause you to lose your daily points.

Can I share a P.E. locker with another student?

No. You will be held responsible for all items in your locker whether they belong to you or not. This also helps prevent theft in the lockeroom from the sharing of combinations.

How often should I take home my P.E. uniform to be washed?

Clothes should be taken home to be washed every Friday, and brought back to school on Monday. Please make sure you have them each day for class.
