Parent Concerns

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Illinois State law requires that all boys and girls take physical education.  This requirement can be waived only when a written doctor's permit advises against this type of activity.  This permit must be brought to the office so that it can be placed in the student's file.  However, parental notes will be accepted for temporary limitations or illness up to 2 consecutive days.  A doctor’s note is required on the 3rd day.

6th, 7th and 8th grade students are required to have a white T-shirt, solid green gym shorts, socks, gym or tennis shoes and a towel.  These articles can be purchased at most clothing stores.  Keep your gym clothes and shoes in your assigned PE locker. 7th and 8th grade students will be assigned disciplinary time for each no dress or improper dress beginning with their third violation.  Your physical education grade will also be affected by not dressing properly for this class.

To prevent loss or theft, all gym clothes and shoes must be marked for identification purposes.  Mark shoes with a permanent marker on top of the tongue of the shoes using the first initial and last name.  Mark shorts on the front of the left leg with three initials (Example: David Alan Jones - DAJ).  Mark shirts with a permanent marker, putting the student's last name on the back of the T-shirt or have the name ironed-on at the place of purchase.

The school does not furnish towels.  Those students who wish to shower after class or athletics should bring a towel from home.
