the general dress code. Swimming suits for swimming class should be modest. Girls swimming suits
should be one piece. Students must wear gym shoes and socks (no sandals, please). No jewelry is to

the activities. Students not participating in PE due to inappropriate PE uniform will be
expected to complete make-up work in written or activity form at the discretion of the PE
teacher. The student may need to attend a make-up session after school if requested by the PE
