but to know why you move.

How do I buy a PE uniform and how much does it cost?

You need to buy all PE uniforms in the school office.  The PE department does
not take any money for PE uniforms.  After you buy a uniform in the office,
they will give you a yellow receipt that you need to give to your PE teacher.
 Shorts are $12 and shirts are $8.  You can also buy a really cool Cupertino
Sports Bag for $8.00.

We run the mile about 8 times a year (2 times a quarter).  There are other
runs like the Variety Run, Pacer Run, Straights and Curves, Run for your Life,
Tempo Run that we will do as well.

If I lose my Sportfolio in your class, what do I need to do?

Although the folder is VERY, VERY important in my class, you don't necessarily need to panic.  All of the 
main handouts can be re-printed out off of the "Sportfolio Handouts" page.  Make sure you print them 
out, make the necessary number of tabs and show your teacher.

What happens if I have a long term injury in the class?

It depends how long your will be out, but, if it ends up being close to an entire quarter, you need to 
complete an injury assignment which is on the Make Up page of my website.  Once the assignment is 
turned in, you will be given "credit" for all of the activity missed in class.
