*Denotes Team Leader

Philosophy, Requirements & other cool stuff!

The physical education department shares the philosophy that each student should participate to the best of their ability, have a sense of fair play, and have fun.  We also share the belief that adolescence is a unique journey in a person’s life and consider it a privilege to work with students during this time.

Uniforms:

BSMS PE uniforms –required
Socks  - required
Tennis shoes—required
Sweatshirts & sweatpants—optional

*Students will be offered a lender uniform when their uniform is not at school.  Refusal to dress will result in
an office referral.  Other consequences for non-dress may be detentions, lower grades, and non-participation.

Medical Excuses:

Students with a medical excuse for PE should bring the doctor’s or parent’s note to the nurse.  Students on medical excuse for more than three days should report to their teacher for a written assignment. 

Jewelry Policy:

All jewelry will be removed for safety concerns.  Any new piercing will be covered with tape provided by the student.  Students must provide a note from parents with the date of the piercing and will be removed after the appropriate time.
