Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
What happens if I choose not to change clothes for PE?
First of all, you lose out! You're missing an opportunity to exercise, have fun, and improve your skills. Concerning you're grade? You're going to lose points every time you don't change for class, because you're unable to participate. In other words, your grade will plummet!Back to Top
Why can't we chew gum in PE class?
Good question! Gum, food, or any other item in your mouth could become lodged in your throat and you could choke on it. Unfortunately, it's happened before (not at Honeoye, thank goodness). It's life threatening, so we don't allow it.Back to Top
No, not yet.Back to Top
My doctor has medically excused me. What do I do now?
1st thing to do is download the medical form on this web site--click on PE Handouts--it's the physician's consent form. Take this form in to your physician and ask him/her to please fill out completely. Then, take this form (BEFORE the first PE class you miss due to your injury) to our school nurse, Mrs. King. She will then make sure it is distributed to your PE teacher and coach.Back to Top
Why can't we wear jewelry in PE class?
Watches, bracelets, earrings, rings and necklaces all have the potential to catch on clothing, hands, or fingers, possibly ripping an earlobe or finger in the process. Jewelry can come off of students during activity, creating a hazard for students who may slip and injure themselves. And occasionally, students accidentally jam a finger or sprain an ankle or wrist (etc.) during activity. In the case of these injuries, swelling occurs. The presence of jewelry (ie: rings, anklets, etc.) results in the circulation of blood flow being cut off, creating a serious problem.Back to Top
26.2 miles. In terms you might understand better . . . think of our high school gym. It takes 20 laps to equal one mile. Try running 524 laps in our gym . . . that equals a marathon!Back to Top
How many days of running 5 laps would it take to total 26.2 miles?
That's a good math problem . . . 524 divided by 5 = 105 days, almost the entire school year.Back to Top
Stay tuned--you'll find out this year!Back to Top
Just wait, you'll find out this year, too!Back to Top
