LC FITNESS

 

EACH STUDENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:

  • Because the heart rate monitors require the use of an electrode encased in a chest strap, which includes an elastic belt and transmitter, the repeated use of the elastic belt throughout the day requires constant adjustment and cleansing of the strap. We are requiring students to purchase their own strap as part of their fitness gear. The cost of the strap is $5.00 and can be purchased from their teacher in the fitness department. Students need to replace the strap if lost.  If there is a problem meeting this fee, please let your child’s counselor know immediately.
  • It is important that fitness and health dress does not damage equipment or facilities and that such dress does not jeopardize any student’s health or safety. Each student is expected to participate on a daily basis in appropriate gym attire. This will consist of shorts or sweats and a shirt and appropriate gym shoes.  No belt loops, zippers, buttons, and brads are allowed which render jeans, etc inappropriate.  Spaghetti strap shirts and tank tops shirts are not allowed. Shoes must be tied securely.  Hats and headgear are also not allowed.
  • In the event the student does not have appropriate clothing, a set of clean loaner clothes will be provided. If the student refuses to wear appropriate clothing for our class this will be handled as a discipline item and the formal intervention process will be used. We will call the parent/guardian and contact the counselor.
  • Timely attendance is expected. The Lewis & Clark formal intervention process for tardies will be followed.   Everyone needs to be in the locker room when the tardy bell rings and in the gym for attendance five (5) minutes after the tardy bell.
  • The locker rooms will be locked after the tardy bell. If a student cannot dress due to the locker room being locked they will assist the teacher during the period and will receive half a point. They can make up the tardy for full credit.
  • Abusive language (profanity) will not be tolerated.
  • Report any injury to the teacher immediately.

 

If the student is injured, a note is required from the parent explaining the situation. If the student will be limited or will miss more than three days of fitness class, a Doctor’s note is required.  Each student is expected to dress in proper gym attire and participate within the limits of their injury (Even with a parent note).

Each student is to be responsible for the security of their own gym locker.  It will be the responsibility of the student to lock and secure his/her gym locker. Unsecured lockers usually produce theft.  The fitness and Health staff at Lewis and Clark High School is not responsible for lost or stolen items.  We feel the students should accept the responsibility of keeping his/her locker locked at all times.  If the student has a lock issue, i.e. lock left on long locker, items left out, lock not locked, that student will lose their credit for the day.
