Rules
(posted by Joseph Bishop; 04/07/10)
All students are expected to follow the rules of the gym at all times. There are four basic rules: Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Give Maximum Effort, Help Someone Today.
Be Responsible:
Responsibility is defined in physical education as– doing what is right even when no one is watching
Be Respectful: Respect is a two way street– your actions towards yourself, others, and equipment is safe and appropriate at all times.
Help Someone Today:
In physical education as in life, it is important to be helpful. I encourage all students to help out a classmate, a friend, a teacher, a sibling, or even a parent.
