You must still wear your uniform to receive your participation points. If you forget your PE uniform or just don’t feel like dressing out, you will still be required to participate in the class, however, you will lose points and you will get sweaty and possibly smelly in your school clothes.

Altered uniforms will result in a non-dress *The reason we are enforcing uniforms is to try and eliminate strangers in the gym. Due to high volume of students in the gym and outside facilitites it is hard to keep track of who belongs in the gym and who is trying to skip from other classes. *
