Grading Policy
Check out the link above to the PE grading policy. Your child is responsible for having the appropriate clothing for class. Shorts or sweatpants are permitted. Students MUST change for class! Sandburg team uniforms are not acceptable PE clothes, nor are the clothes the students wears to school. Sneakers are the only acception.
Don't put those swimsuits away. All students will swim about 1/3 of every marking period.
All students will need a combination lock for physical education class. Student belongings should be locked up during class and then taken with them (along with the lock) after class. PE things can not be left in the locker room lockers all day as there are not enough lockers to accomodate all students.

Students are getting well acclimated to PE rules. Parents can help by reminding their student to have PE clothes every other day (grades 6-8).
