Dress out: Dressing out means to change top and bottom and wear the proper shoes. The Physical Education Dept. reserves the right to restrict any item(s) of clothing that is deemed inappropriate for the school setting.
Security: Do not leave anything of great value unlocked or unsecured. You may rent a locker for $2.00 per semester. It is best to leave valuables at home. If you are not comfortable with security give your valuables to your teacher prior to dressing out. THESE ITEMS ARE ALWAYS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!

“We are here to learn and to have fun while learning’
Discipline in my class is based on mutual respect. I respect you, you respect me, and all of you respect each other. If we do this consistently we will have few if any problems.

Due to the fact that this is mostly a class based on participation, attendance is of great importance.

This work should include all bibliographical information.
