Fitness devices which record data regarding activity, may be worn in physical education provided they are safely secured (with a sweatband or similar covering) and do not otherwise present a safety risk to the student or others. It is understood that students will comply with the procedures contained in the Portable Communication Device Policy, Acceptable Use Policy for Students and the procedures stating parent financial responsibility

If there are any restrictions please notify me and I can make any accommodations.

If there is any reason that your child CANNOT participate in Physical Education due to documentation provided, then they will NOT be allowed to participate in any outdoor activities during Free Play.

Follow all safety rules for playground equipment and Physical Education equipment being used.

Students should be respectful of others and take turns.

Thank you for reviewing these rules with your child and Thank you for helping keep are students safe and active.
