Class Policies

• Students are not allowed to have food, drinks, candy, or gum while in the gym or the locker rooms.

• Cell phones, iPods, or any other personal electronics are not allowed to be used during school hours. Because electronics are a high-theft item, we discourage students from bringing them to school. If we see them out during class, they will be confiscated and given to the administration. 

• Students’ uniform for PE should include:

  • A light gray or white t-shirt with first name and last initial clearly visible on the front. First name and last initial should be on the upper back of the shirt as well, with letters at least 2” in height.

  • Black athletic shorts or athletic pants with the student’s name on them. 

  • If preferred, PE uniforms can be purchased for $15 on PowerSchool or in the office.

  • Athletic shoes and socks. No flip-flops, Crocs, slip-ons, boots, heelies, skate shoes, or other shoes that cannot be laced up tight.

  • All clothing should be modest, loose-fitting, and appropriate for co-ed physical education classes. This includes shorts that fall at an appropriate length and shirts that have sleeves and are long enough to tuck in when necessary. 

  • First day of dressing down is Wednesday, AUGUST 14 for Semester 1 and Wednesday, JANUARY 8 for Semester 2. Please bring PE clothes by then!

  • PE clothing should be cleaned regularly.  At least weekly is recommended.

  • Students will have 4 minutes before and after class to change. Showers are available, but not required.

• All members of the SRIS PE community are expected to behave with respect, integrity, citizenship, hard work, and perseverance.

Lockers/locker rooms

• All students will be assigned a locker with a combination lock in the locker room.  Locks cannot be brought from home.

• It is the responsibility of the student to keep all belongings locked up in their locker at all times and to keep their combinations confidential.

• Pad locks are to remain in the locker rooms at all times.

• The girls’ and boys' locker rooms are “scent-free zones”. No perfumes, body sprays, scented lotions, hair sprays, etc. are allowed. If students would like to use these products, they are welcome to do so outside of the gym/locker room areas.
