Al- Ghazaly school PE : Safety Protocols and Guidelines

To ensure a safe, respectful, and effective learning environment during Physical Education (PE) classes, all students must adhere to the following guidelines:

General Safety Rules

PE Late Arrival Policy

Paper passes are not accepted. If you are late from another class:

• Same-Day Email Required: The teacher who kept you must email me your name and departure time before 11:59 PM today.

• Skyward Rules: Unexcused lateness (no email received) is logged directly into Skyward:

  • 5–10 Mins Late: Marked Late.

  • 10+ Mins Late: Marked Very Late (3 "Very Lates" = 1 Absence).

• Fixing Locked Records: Skyward locks at midnight. If your teacher forgets to email me today, you must have them email administration to adjust your record—I cannot change it after midnight.
  
  

Rule 2: Bathroom Log

• Sign In/Out Required: You must log your name, time out, time in, and reason (Bathroom Only) on the sheet by the gym door.

• One at a Time: If someone is already signed out, you must wait.

• No Unapproved Exits: Leaving without signing out, or leaving while someone else is out, will be reported as leaving class without permission.

• Forgot to Sign Out? Returning to class without having signed the log will result in a Very Late mark.

Rule 3: End-of-Class Dismissal

When class ends or the whistle blows, stop playing immediately and put away equipment. No "one more shot."

• 1st Offense: Verbal warning.

• 2nd Offense: Verbal warning.

• 3rd Offense: Behavioral Counselor referral + parent email.

• 4th Offense: Formal written write-up.

Rule 4: Unauthorized Class Visitors

Students are only permitted in the gym during their own scheduled physical education period.

• No Visitors Allowed: Coming to the gym during another grade's class or during your free period—to play, hang out, or because you have no work—is strictly prohibited.

• Zero Arguments/Begging: Do not ask to stay or argue with the teacher.

• Immediate Write-Up: Any unauthorized student who enters the gym during another class will receive an immediate formal write-up. No exceptions.

• No Food or Drinks: Food and beverages (except water) are strictly prohibited in the gym at all times.

• Consequences: Interrupting PE classes during lunch or bringing food into the gym will result in an immediate warning. Repeated offenses will lead to a formal write-up for class disruption.

Rule 6: Appropriate Language

Profanity, slurs, and inappropriate language are strictly prohibited in the gym—even if used casually or in a friendly way.

• Prohibited Words: The N-word, F-word, and any form of racial slurs, hate speech, or severe profanity are not tolerated under any circumstances.
