  2. If a student does not have his or her clothes, then they will receive a ND, “No dress”, for the day.  They will be expected to walk the entire period. If a student is missing part of the uniform (ex. VG PE Shirt, shorts) it will be considered a “No Suit”, which results in a 5 point deduction per day. If a student does not have proper PE shoes, that will be considered a “No Dress”.

1.  1st ND                   25 point deduction from point total

Please have the physician indicate how long the student will be out of PE and/or anything the student MAY do, including walking, etc.  A student with a medical excuse will be given an alternate assignment.   The assignment will be determined on a case by case basis dependent on the length of the medical excuse.  Students with long term injuries may be sent to study hall to do research/independent study. The teacher, along with the student, parents, and principal, will handle overuse of the notes mentioned above.
