Gym Safety

In order to ensure students’ safety during Physical Education class, the following
guidelines have been established:

*Proper footwear is required. Properly tied sneakers are to be worn for physical
education class. Sneakers are designed to allow for easy movement and to
protect the feet and ankles from injuries that could occur while participating in
vigorous activities.

* No shoes, sandals, flip flops, boots or crocs are allowed.

*Physical education class excuses can be given up to three (3) days with a
parent note. A doctor’s note must be obtained after the third day.

*Any student under a doctor’s care for any medical reason cannot return to
physical education class or recess without a doctor’s note.

*A student with a cast, brace, sling or splint will not be allowed to participate in
physical education or recess regardless of a doctor's note; these devices create
the potential for injury to another student.

Thank you for your assistance in keeping students safe.
