Daily Routine
Students must be in the gym building by the final bell or they will be sent to sweep. Students must be on time, prepared to dress out, and in the locker room within 2 minutes of final bell. Students will have 7 minutes to dress for class in activity clothing. Class will consist of warm- ups/exercises, instruction, skill practice, competition/workout and evaluation. Students will have 7 minutes to dress back into their regular school clothes. All students must remain in the locker room under the supervision of the staff until the bell rings. Failure to do so will result in loss of participation credit and possible disciplinary action. Remain inside locker room / gym until bell rings.
Uniforms
You must change your clothes. The uniform is athletic shorts (gym shorts) and sleeved T-shirt with no alterations or tears. For safety reasons, zippers, and belt loops on shorts or shirts with buttons are not allowed. Denim shorts are not considered appropriate for these classes. Shorts will be black, while T-shirts will be plain white or white with BCHS pe/club/team and adhere to the school handbook. You are not permitted to wear athletic equipment to a Physical Education class. The school/district dress code also applies in determining dress that is not acceptable for activity. For safety reasons, we recommend that you do not wear any jewelry during class. Instructors will ask you to remove jewelry if it causes a safety issue to the class. Gym shoes, defined as shoes with athletic intent, not fashion, must be worn at all times during class (shoelaces tied).
Locker room
Students are assigned a small locker, which is to be used as a storage locker for P.E. clothes/shoes. During class, students will place their street clothes in the corresponding long locker. Students need to make sure to return their gym clothes to their small locker after class. No one should know your combination or use your locker except you (no personal locks). We are not responsible for the loss of personal items from these lockers. Never use your locker to store large amounts of money or valuable items. Make sure your lockers are locked at all times.
Student Conduct
Treat everyone with respect.
At no time are glass containers, food, or drinks allowed in the gymnasium or locker room.
Enter the coaches' office only after knocking and being requested to do so.
Do not touch any equipment until you are given permission.
School policy applies to the use of all tobacco products, alcohol, and drugs.
Nurse's Excuse
All doctor and parent excuses must be presented to the school nurse before Physical Education class. You are to report to the nurse before school or class, not during class time.
Injuries Report all injuries to your coach at the time of the injury.
Extended Absences
In cases of long term medical excuses the Physical Education Department and Administration will individually consider each situation to determine if the student should 1) remain in the regular class and earn make-up credits, 2) re-enroll in class at a future date, 3) transfer to limited Physical Education class or 4) in extreme cases have the Physical Education requirement waived.
