Phys Ed. Updates
RCS Middle School Principal's Office
Hello, RCS Middle School Parents & Guardians!
Good morning Parents and Guardians,
During the week of January 23, 2023, administration will be having discussions with each physical education section about appropriate use and behavior in the locker rooms. Given the number of sections, this will likely take most of the week to work through all of them.
On January 30, 2023, use of the locker rooms will begin again. Students will again be required to change for physical education. Students will need to change from their school attire into their PE attire.
Proper dress is required to take part in activities, defined as follows:
- Tied sneakers
- Shorts or comfortable pants
- T-shirt and/or sweatshirt
Students have been assigned a locker and locker combination where they can keep their belongings. Some other items they may want to keep in their locker: a brush, deodorant, body spray, extra socks and a water bottle.
It is important that students use their locker and keep it locked at all times. The school or PE Staff are not responsible for lost or stolen items. We encourage students not to share their locker combination with any other students.
The Middle School Physical Education Grading Rubric is outlined in the attached syllabus. Please review this with your student. If you have not already done so, please return a signed copy.
