We have procedures so:

1.  We are all safe. (and)
2.  The teacher can teach.  (and)
3.  The students can learn.

School Rule:  Follow Directions

Entering The Gym

• Wait in the hallway until signaled to enter

• Walk into the gym when signaled to enter

• Walk directly to your own squad spot and sit facing west

When Sitting

• Face the given direction (north, south, east, west)

• Sit on your bottom with
        legs crossed
        mouth closed
        eyes on the teacher
        hands in lap

When you are a squad leader

• Face your squad in sitting position

• Use hand signals to keep your squad in a straight line

• When given the signal to stand, lead exercises

• Use a loud voice to give
       the number of exercises (10)
       the name of the exercise
       the direction you want the class to face
       the exercise ready position
       say "Ready Begin" to start exercise
  * Lead exercises using the correct form

• Count exercises with the class

• Face the teacher, when the teacher is teaching the class

When the teacher is talking to the class

• Sit on bottom

• Face teacher

• Sit crossed legged

• Mouths Closed

• Eyes on the teacher

• Hands in lap

• Raise hand, if you want permission to talk

• Remember what is said, so you can answer questions

In Activity

• Follow all game rules

• Follow all safety rules

• Stop and sit on the whistle

• Play hard-try your best

• Play fair-no cheating

• Nobody hurt-be careful

Times when it should be so quiet the teacher can hear the lights:

• "Hands Up"

• Finger over mouth

• Whistle

• When the teacher begins to speak to the class

• The teacher is already talking to the class

• Announcement over intercom

• Fire drill

• Lock Down

Teaching Time

• Beginning of class

• End of class

• "Huddle Up"

• Each time the teacher stops activity

Exiting Gym

• Listen for your teacher's name

• Stand when your class is called

• Go to the next place in line, if no space walk to end of line

• Walk one through the door at a time, single file, when class is dismissed

• You should be quiet and calm, when entering hallway

If someone is bothering you

• Try ignoring or tell the person you want them to stop (be specific and direct)

• Raise your hand

• Tell the teacher

• The teacher will handle it with you

• Do not hit or strike someone who is bothering you

Suggestions for when someone is bothering you

• Ignore the situation or person

• Move away

• Let the person know that you are upset, what is upsetting you, and finally, ask that person if he or she will stop the activity that is causing the upset.
  *  Make sure that when you are asking a person to stop that the person is listening to you.  (By making sure you get some kind of acknowledgement from that person.) 
  If that doesn't work, tell the teacher.  The teacher will help you with it.

When Exercising

• Wait for the signal to stand

• Face direction given by the squad leader

• Keep your distance

• Listen for the squad leader to tell you:
        What direction to stand
        What exercise to do
        Ready Position
        To Begin

• Do exercise as demonstrated by Ms. Rushing

• Count out loud

•  Quiet between exercises

• Oohs, ahs, laying down, and noise wastes our activity time, let's exercise quickly

• Watch for the teachers direction after exercises

• If you cannot do the exercises, you should not do the activities

When Jogging

• Stay on the outside of the basketball gym lines

• When you get tired, just jog slower

• Never stop in the running area

• Always jog forward

• No racing, touching, or tagging during jogging

• Have your shoes tied before activity

                                                                ***It is dangerous to stop for any reason during jogging time

Getting your distance

• When facing any direction, outstretch your arms so you don't touch anyone

• If you do touch; move to your right until you don't

Bathrooms

• Try not to have to go to the bathroom during PE.  PE is not a bathroom time.

• Use the bathroom when your teacher takes you for scheduled breaks.

• If you must go to the bathroom, you will be allowed to go.
    no bathroom during exercises, jogging, or teacher teaching time
    raise your hand and ask permission
    ask when the teacher is not teaching in front of the whole class
    only one student can be gone at a time
    return directly to activity

• The bathroom should look good when you leave; if not, tell the teacher.

To Move Into Game Positions

• Walk

• Do not touch equipment

• Sit

Dress

• Wear tennis shoes or shoes that cover your entire foot

• Girls should wear shorts under skirts, if a skirt is worn

• Pants need to be kept up

• Coats, jackets, and sweaters should be left in your classroom

Injury or Illness

• If anyone is hurt in class, do not touch or move them  (You might hurt them more)

• Call for the teacher

• Sit quietly

Personal Property

• Keep personal property in your classroom

Guest Instructors

• The class is expected to treat the guest instructor even better than the regular teacher.  If a report is received from a guest instructor that a class was not considerate and/or supportive, a class discussion "Club House" will occur to discuss what happened.  Consequences will be handed out, if needed.

Fire Alarm

• All action stops.

• Equipment is placed on ground directly where standing.

• Silence and listen for teacher directions.  (if there is no teacher, proceed in a logical manner as usual.)

• Form a line as you walk safely and quietly to the safety area outside.

Lock Down

• All action stops.

• Equipment is placed on ground directly where standing.

• Silence and listen for teacher directions.  (if there is no teacher, proceed in a logical manner as usual.)

• Form a line as you walk safely and quietly to the safety area inside.

Equipment

• Don't touch any equipment until told to touch it

• If equipment is in your squad spot, sit beside it

• Consequence for touching equipment early:  you don't get to use it

Excused from Class

• Ms. Rushing will let you sit out, but you need to have a note from a parent explaining why you did not participate

• No habits (This should be a "happens once" kind of thing)

Drinks

• Classroom teachers should allow students to drink following PE class

• Ms. Rushing schedules drinks, if an activity has taken water from your body

Class Atmosphere

• We lift each other up not put each other down

• No one should be afraid to try because they think they will be laughed at

• Booing is a put down, Cheering is a lift up

• If it would make you feel bad, don't do it

• If you wouldn't want Ms. Rushing to do it to you, don't do it to others (that is how you can tell if it is wrong or right)

• Be proud of each others' accomplishments

• When a student is speaking; look at them and listen to them like you would like them to listen to you
