1. HUNTINGTOWN HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT
2007-2008
Dear Parents and Guardians:
This letter has been prepared for the purpose of acquainting both pupils and parents
with the policies and regulations of the Huntingtown High School Physical Education
Department. We are asking for your Cooperation with implementation and enforcement
of these regulations in order for your child to realize his or her greatest potential.
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
DRESS
In the interest of health, appearance and safety, all pupils are required to wear a physical education
uniform. The uniform consists of a shirt, shorts, white socks, and tennis shoes. Students will be able to
purchase the uniform from Huntingtown High School. Shirts are 100% cotton. Shorts are micro-mesh
nylon. The cost of the entire uniform and locker rental is $25.00. The students name will be placed
on the uniform to help with identification. Sweatshirts are acceptable and recommended for wearing
outside in cold weather as long as they are worn over a physical education uniform and are not worn to or
from physical education class. Under no circumstance is a sweatshirt an acceptable substitute for a
uniform shirt for use during inside activity.
Each student must be dressed in full uniform in order to participate in class. If a student forgets his/her
physical education uniform, a loaner uniform may be rented for $ 1.00 for that period only and must be
turned in at the end of that class. Students will be allowed one IOU.
Wearing uniforms inside out, cutting off the sleeves, writing on the uniform, or crossing out the
name on the shirt is not acceptable. At no time should students wear uniforms with other
student’s names on the uniform.
SHOES
Students are to wear the following types of shoes during physical education class: laced tennis shoes,
closed front and back, and flat heels and soles. Any other type will be detrimental to the students’ safety
and will not be acceptable attire.
EXCUSES
The parent or guardian must provide a note in the event a student is unable to participate in class. If an
illness or an injury prevents a student from participation for more than 3 days, a note must be provided by
a physician. A note only excuses a student from participation, not from dressing out. Students are still
required to dress at all times, unless handicapped by a cast, splint, etc. Short term and extended illness
will result in written work for the student.
GRADING
75% of the course grade is based upon dress and level of participation.
Five (5) points per day:
-Two (2) points participation
-Two (2) points on time and dressed
-One (1) teacher discretion
25% of course grade is based upon in class academic and skills work.
20% of the final grade is based on the final exam.
6 or more non-dress days will result in failing for the quarter

2. CLASS PROCEDURE
All students must be inside the locker room before the late bell; a tardy will be given if late.
Students will remain in the locker room at the beginning and end of the class until dismissed by the
teacher or will be allowed in the gym under teacher supervision. When dismissed from the locker room,
all students will report to the designated area for their class and sit down. Ample time at the end of class
will be allowed for students to report back to the locker room to shower and change for their next class.
Students should leave all equipment alone until the teacher gives the directions to begin activity.
Students should report all injuries immediately to the teacher. There will be no food or snacks allowed in
the locker room.
ATTENDANCE
Class attendance is a requirement and the regulations established by the Board of Education will be
followed.
TARDY
Students will follow school tardy policies.
VALUABLES
Student’s valuable personal property should be left at home. Valuables brought to school should be
locked in a secure place. The Huntingtown High School Physical Education Department CANNOT
insure the safety of valuables. All jewelry should be removed before class and locked up.

Lockers will be assigned for use by the student. Students cannot share lockers and should not give out
their locker combinations.
