Rolling Hills Life Fitness Uniform Policy

Students are required to dress EVERY DAY in THEIR OWN Life Fitness uniform. For hygiene reasons, students are not allowed to wear another student’s uniform.
To ensure proper hygiene, the uniform is to be worn during the students' Life Fitness class only and not throughout the day.
School clothes may NOT be worn underneath the life fitness uniform.
All uniforms must be labeled with permanent black ink only - Last name followed by first initial. All names must be clearly printed on each item. NO OTHER MARKINGS ALLOWED.
PE shorts' name plate must be visible at all times.
Uniforms are not to be ripped, torn, altered or written on inappropriately. Any clothing that is ripped, torn, or altered must be replaced.

Shorts must be worn at waist level (no sagging).
During the cold weather months, sweats are recommended. They can be purchased in the RHMS main office.
Solid gray sweats may also be worn. The student’s last name and first initial must be clearly marked on the sweats. No hoods, zippers, pockets, or logos on sweats.
Students may wear black long sleeve (compression type) shirt or black tights (leggings) under their PE. Uniform.
Laced athletic shoes are required and will be tied for function not fashion.
Clothes are brought home on Fridays and returned on Mondays.

Loaner Uniform Program

When students forget to bring their uniforms to school, they will be provided with a clean “loaner uniform” to use during their class period.
At the beginning of class, students will report to the locker room office to check out a “loaner”.
At the end of class, students will check the uniform back into the office.
If a “loaner” is lost or not turned in, the student will be responsible for replacing the loaner and will be assigned a detention.
The third loaner, and each thereafter per trimester, will result in a detention and a loss of merits.

Lockers and Locker Room Guidelines

All students will be issued a locker. Students are responsible for the contents of the locker at all times. Teachers ARE NOT responsible for any lost or stolen items.
Students must bring in their own lock. A combination lock is preferred over digit code locks (they reset on accident).
Backpacks are not allowed inside the locker room.
Cell phones are not allowed inside the locker room.
To prevent theft, lockers are to be locked at all times (before, during and after class).
Lockers are to be kept clean and free of stickers, writing, and glass mirrors.
No horseplay, running or screaming in the locker room.
No glass, aerosol containers, perfume, food or drink in the locker room.
Never give out your locker combination to anyone! Combinations are changed each year.
Only use the locker you have been assigned. Another student’s locker will not be opened for you.

Attendance and Tardies

A student is tardy when he/she:

The school policy will go into effect when a student is marked tardy.

Class Points

Students earn points for the following activities:

Aerobic Conditioning

Conditioning will be held once per week. Aerobic conditioning events are worth 20 points each. The students rotate between the following activities:

Illness and Physical Limitations

If a student cannot fully participate in Life Fitness, a written note from the parent should be brought to class. The note should state the following:
1. Type of injury
2. Limitations
3. Accommodations
A parent note is only valid for 1 Day. A zero will be placed in the gradebook for that day and students will work with the teacher to make up those points.
A doctor’s note is required for any limitation that extends beyond three days.
Activity modifications will be made for a student that cannot fully participate in Life Fitness.
Students are responsible to follow the guidelines set forth by the doctor’s recommendation for limitation.
Students that require an inhaler must have written consent on file with the nurse, and keep inhaler with them in class to use as needed.

Absence/Excuse Make-Up

Students are allowed to complete written assignments or a make up run to earn back absent points.
A missed Aerobic Conditioning day must be made-up by running a mile on Friday after school (2:10).
Extended medical excuses will be addressed individually by the student’s teacher.

Short Term Medical Excuses (Doctor notes; up to 2 weeks)

For a short term medical excuse (up to 2 weeks) on non-aerobic conditioning days, students will be given an alternative assignment to complete in the library during Life Fitness time.
The student’s grade for the trimester will be a letter grade and will include the alternative assignment as well as all other grades when they were present.

Long Term Medical Excuses (Doctor notes-longer than 2 weeks)

If a student has a doctor’s note excusing him/her from Life Fitness long term (i.e., longer than two weeks), the student will be provided an alternative assignment to complete in the library during Life Fitness time.
If the extended absence still allows the student to participate in Life Fitness for 75% of the trimester (9+ weeks), the student will earn a letter grade based on their Life Fitness activities’ grades as well as the alternative assignment. The student will have to make up any aerobic conditioning days missed (max of 2 mile runs).
If the student participates in Life Fitness less than 75% of the time (less than 9 weeks), he/she will be given an alternative assignment to complete while in the library during Life Fitness. The grade will then be pass or fail, and not a letter grade. They will not be asked to make up additional mile runs; their grade will be based solely on the alternative assignment.
If the student is out on medical leave for a whole trimester, they will receive a mark of NA on their report card for Life Fitness.
If any of the aforementioned alternative assignments are provided, a comment of “curriculum accommodations” will be noted on the report card.

Physical Fitness Testing

In alignment with the California State Standards for Physical Education, students will be assessed on the components of health-related physical fitness using the scientifically based ‘Fitnessgram’ assessment.

Academic Dishonesty

If a student is caught cheating, the consequence will be a ‘0’ on the activity or assignment, a Friday school will be assigned, and merits will be lost. The student will have the opportunity to make the assignment up.
