Physical Education Attire

One of the nice things about middle school is being able to dress out for your PE class every day. Please take your clothes home at least once a week to wash them. You will dress out every day. You will have your own locker and you are expected to take care of your clothes and lock any possessions.

Be sure to lock your locker every day to secure your clothes!

You can purchase P.E. clothes at Horner throughout the school year. All clothes will be marked during the first week of school with your first and last name. You will need a good pair of tennis shoes that ties and clean socks (no vans, slippers, boots, crocs, or sandals).  For safety precautions please wear tennis shoes. Sweats are encouraged during cold weather. Sweats should be white or light grey with your name on the outside.

Students who need to be covered for religious reasons or medical issues have the option to purchase a long sleeve t-shirt.  Do Not graffiti, cut or alter your PE clothes or you will have to purchase new ones. Clothes prices are as follows:

T-shirt 15.00    Shorts 15.00     Long sleeve T-shirt 22.00       Horner bag 5.00                  Horner lock 7.00

Locker Room etiquette

Cellphones need to be put away before entering locker room and cannot be out.

Students will have 3 minutes to change into PE attire each school day. (No changing in the restrooms)

Enter the locker room, quickly get dressed, and go to your assigned area. Do Not stand around in the locker room.

Make sure to lock your valuables up.  The school and staff are NOT responsible for any items lost or stolen. You must lock your locker before you leave the locker room. If you need loaners see a teacher asap.

No sharing clothes, use Horner combination lock, use appropriate language, be respectful, follow directions, do not spray anything, and report any lock changes to your pe teacher.

Be in the locker room before the bell.

Loaners

Loaners and Non-Dress Policy (resets each semester)

LOANERS: For students who forgot their PE clothes, we do have clean loaners that can be checked out and used for

the day. However, too many loaners will result in detention. For every third loaner, the student checks out, a one-hour

detention will be assigned. [Example: 1st loaner (warning), 2nd loaner (warning), 3rd loaner (1-hour detention), 4th

loaner (warning), 5th loaner (warning), 6th loaner (1-hour detention), etc.

NON-DRESS: For students who are NOT appropriately dressed (wearing Croc-like shoes or combat boots, have school

clothing under their PE uniform, no PE or loaner uniform, etc.) will be held accountable. The first non-dress will result in a warning. Each additional non-dress will result in a one-hour detention.

Parent Notes

Students who need to be excused from PE due to illness or injury need to bring a note from home or a doctor’s note to be excused.

Students who need to be excused from PE due to illness or injury need to bring a note from home.   If a student’s participation is to be excused for more than 2 consecutive days or is a chronic issue, your child will need a written excuse from a doctor on the 3rd day.

Students lose points when they are absent, students have 2 weeks to make up days missed.

Female students are not excused from participation during menstruation.

Students fasting will participate but will not do timed runs. Timed runs and other missed assignments are made up when fasting ends.

Please remember that if there are any medical problems that may limit your child’s participation in class, please let us know by filling out the form at the following website  https://www.fremont.k12.ca.us/healthforms

If you have an inhaler, epi-pen, etc.

Please inform the nurse at Horner Middle School that your student has an inhaler or an epi-pen since there are forms the student’s parents must fill out to allow the student to carry their inhaler or epi-pen with them. These forms are available at this website https://www.fremont.k12.ca.us/healthforms 

Please remember that if a student will self-carry mediation, forms D and E need to be filled out. Students must always have their mediation on their person. It cannot be in their backpack or their self-carry rights will be revoked. Thank you. 

Medical issue? Whether your child is allergic to red dye or peanuts please inform the school nurse, so they know. Thank you.

Absences

Physical Education is a participation class. 

It is the student’s responsibility to make up for any absence and to check with their teacher to make up missed tests. Missed participation points will need to be made up within two weeks of the absence date(s) Missed work is made up in a timely manner, 2 weeks or less.

Students with Independent Study Programs will usually be assigned both active and written work. If you miss any miles, you will need to make up when you get back.
