DRESS OUT POLICY
UNIFORM AND POLICY
Physical education students are expected to be responsible for bringing their own PE uniform, socks, and tennis shoes. Students are encouraged to keep an extra pair of shorts and shirt in their locker as a back- up so they do not lose points if they forget to bring their clothes back from home. These clothes need to be solid school colors: Black, white, grey or red. Students who do not dress out appropriately will have consequences. All students not dressed appropriately for P.E. will walk the track for the P.E. period. According to MVUSD dress-code under inappropriate attire, non suits in P.E. are a dress-code violation. Parents will be contacted through email, phone or Aeries.
PE UNIFORM
School shorts and t-shirts are recommended and will be available during orientation and at the student store near the front office. Running shoes and back up clothes, in school colors, are also encouraged. Other suggested items are sunscreen, water bottles, and hats. Hats must be in solid, school colors red, black, white or grey. Hats and water bottles can be purchased through ASB. The PE Department will not loan clothes and students can not borrow clothes from other students.
****In accord with District and school policy, absolutely no camera phones, video equipment, or cameras are allowed in the locker rooms. Due to the possibility of picture taking in the locker room, any student seen with a camera phone, video equipment or camera will have the device immediately confiscated and turned in to administration. There is a secure and locked area for all students to leave their backpacks and valuables.****
