Discipline Policy

We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with your child in P.E.
With your encouragement and support, he/she will be a part of many rewarding experiences this year.

Since lifelong success depends in part on learning to make responsible choices, we have developed a discipline plan that provides every student guidance in making good decisions about their behavior.  Your child deserves the most positive educational climate possible for his/her growth, and we know that together we will make a difference in this process.  Please read the plan below which outlines our rules, possible rewards and consequences for appropriate  behavior during P.E. activities.

1. Follow directions the first time given
2. Keep hands, feet, etc. and objects to oneself.
3. No use of inappropriate language, teasing or name-calling.
4. On given signals (verbal, whistle, music), STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN.
5. Show respect towards oneself and others.

To encourage students to follow these rules, we will recognize appropriate behavior with praise, notes home, and positive phone calls home.  However, if a student chooses to break a rule, the following consequences will be implemented:

• First time: warning given
• Second time: 5 minutes out of activity
• Third time: out of activity for remainder of classtime and phone call home
• Severe clause: sent to office, parent contacted

Be assured that our goal is to work with you to ensure the success of your child this year. These rules and consequences are posted in the gymnasiums for easy reference.  The students will sign a contract of agreement after a clear and thorough presentation of this discipline policy by his/her P.E. teacher.
