Class Attire?
All students are expected to dress for class. Shorts, T-shirts, sweats, and
sneakers are examples of correct attire for participation. These clothing
items are not to be worn to school, with the exception of the sneakers.
Jewelry considered dangerous will have to be removed. YOUR INSTRUCTOR HAS
THE FINAL SAY AS TO WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE OR NOT IN CLASS.
Medical Excuses?
Should you have a DOCTORS medical excuse, bring it to the nurse first, then
to your instructor. You will be excused from any activity relating to your
medical. Alternative activities will be given to the student to earn
credit.
Make up classes?
Legal absenses can be made up before school on odd days (zero period, 6:30-
7am), or after school at intramurals (2-3:30pm)
Cutting class, or being unprepared cannot be made up. A student is given two
free classes per quarter due to school related activities (field trip, AP
exam, Music Lessons)
Class Failures?
If a student fails 9th or 10th grade Physical Education for the year, it
must
be made up the following year. These courses cannot be made up in summer
school. If a student fails a semester of 11th or 12th grade Physical
Education it may be made up as early as the following semester. A student
is
not allowed to double up on Physical Education until their senior year. At
no time will a student be allowed to take more than two Physical Education
classes. This may mean that a student will be required to go to summer
school to graduate on time.
