Ø      GENERAL PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASS POLICIES:

Ø      DAILY ATTENDANCE- Students must be in the locker rooms by the beginning of the period, 5 minutes to dress and report for roll call.  Laguna's TARDY policy is written in the student handbook.

Ø      CLEAN PE CLOTHES CHECK-A parent note including: dance, specific reason for excuse, extent of excused activity and a parent/guardian signature will excuse a student for a maximum of 3 consecutive days.  In excess of 3 days the school district requires a physician's note.  Excused notes are to be given to your teacher at the beginning of the period.

Ø      INJURIES-must be reported to the teacher immediately so that proper treatment can be given

Ø      SHOWERS-recommended after each day's activity.  Students have 10 minutes at the end of the class to shower, dress, and get ready for their next class.

Ø      CLASS DISMISSAL-Students are to remain inside the locker rooms until dismissed by a teacher or PE aide.  Please do not leave through the gym or annex.  Leaving early is a class cut.

Ø      LOCKER ROOM BEHAVIOR-is to be the same as classroom behavior.

Ø      PE LOCKS AND LOCKERS-are assigned by the department.  Combinations must be kept to yourself.  If you are missing your lock, IMMEDIATELY see the PE teachers in the office.  IF it cannot be found a new lock will be issued after paying $6.00 for the lost lock.  Locks from home are not allowed.  Switching lockers without permission is not allowed.  Always lock up your belongings.
