PE Class:
PE is all about effort! Do your personal best everyday while working to improve your personal fitness and sports skills. Have a good attitude even if you feel you are “not athletic” or you don’t like the particular sport we are focused on for the week.
MATERIALS:
*Pepper Drive PE uniform or black athletic shorts and a plain grey t-shirt to be kept in your PE locker.
New students will be given a PE uniform. Returning students who need to replace a lost, damaged, or outgrown Pepper Drive PE uniform may purchase a new one:
$5 shirt, $10 shorts
No markings other than name (last, name, first initial) are allowed on PE uniform.
*Closed-toe, athletic shoes in good condition.
Better to have a pair to leave in your locker. CROCS are not appropriate PE shoes!
*Stick deodorant
*Proper undergarments
Optional materials to be kept in your PE locker:
*Stick sunscreen *Sports headband, pony-tail holders, hair clips to keep hair and sweat out of your face

LOCKER ROOM POLICIES:
You will be assigned a lock and a locker for your PE clothes. It is your responsibility to keep track of your lock. Replacement cost for a lost lock is $8.00.
Place your lock on your locker door while getting into your locker and make sure to lock it before leaving the locker room. ALL clothing must be kept in a locked locker at all times.
Clothing left on the floor or benches or in an unlocked locker will be placed in the PE lost & found and your grade will be docked 1 point.
The PDMS locker room motto is:
KEEP YOURSELF TO YOURSELF while you GET IN, GET DRESSED, GET OUT!
"Ain't your body! Ain't your business!"
T.I.G.E.R. locker room expectations are clearly posted in the locker room. Please review them regularly and behave accordingly. No sprays of any kind allowed inside the locker room. Please use sprays outside only. NO glass bottles, please!
Your teachers do not want to stand at the locker room door during change times, but we will if we have to.

2) Roll-call and announcements Water bottles are to be placed on the bleachers before going to roll call

MEDICAL EXCUSE:
When you have a minor injury or illness, your parent/guardian may excuse you from PE for 1, 2, or 3 consecutive days by filling out the PE Excuse form or sending in a written note or email. Any excuse longer than three days requires a doctor's note.
When you are absent for 1,2, or 3 days, you are excused from PE. Starting on your fourth consecutive day of missing PE for any reason, you are required to begin completing alternative, written PE assignments found in Google Classroom. We will discuss and agree upon how many of these assignments you must complete to clear your absences. Your daily scores will be 0 until those assignments are submitted and graded.
