PE CLOTHING

No need to spend your entire summer savings on PE clothes! Any student taking a physical education class is required to “dress down," and if they are a freshman, they will need to purchase and wear the t-shirt and shorts provided by the school. If you have already purchased these clothes from a previous year and want to continue wearing them, you do not need to purchase another set. This is in an effort to provide appropriate and affordable athletic wear for all students. To avoid theft and permanent loss of one's clothing, both the shirt and shorts will have a space on the front for students to write their name. The t-shirt is a dark grey Hanes heavyweight 50/50 blend with customized Rebel athletic artwork. The shorts are black, dri fit polyester with a 9" inseam, also customized with Rebel artwork. The total cost for this PE clothing is $12.

The purchase of this PE uniform is required for all freshmen students enrolled in fitness for life. If payment is of concern at this time, application for a deferment is an option. Sophomores through seniors in PE who are NOT in freshman fitness for life may wear the PE uniform or any other athletic wear that matches the style of the uniform (ie: unaltered crew neck t-shirt and long basketball-type shorts). ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION FEES

$ 150.00 per sport $ 300.00 maximum per individual $ 450.00 maximum per family

Our primary goal is to provide fun, positive, and successful learning experiences for our athletes. We strive to maximize the potential of every student-athlete by addressing the whole person.

Students, you are expected to provide a dated and signed written note from your parent or guardian stating the reason you are absent.

Absences not cleared with the school Attendance Secretary, within three (3) days of your return to school will be considered unexplained absences. Pre-arranged absences can also be done in the same manner, with a written note from your parent or guardian, or a phone call to the Attendance Secretary. Three (3) consecutive days of absence due to illness require a note from a doctor in order to be excused. Students who are truant in any class during a semester and still manage to pass the class, may have the grade and credit withheld until they pass an attendance contract. Regular attendance is important to have a successful academic experience, and it also builds good habits for life and demonstrates reliability and punctuality to potential employers. (See the Parent Student Handbook for additional information. Handbooks will be given to each student at Registration).

Please be aware that the phone in the Attendance Office is available to those students who need to contact a parent or guardian for attendance issues only. Permission will be granted to a student who needs to leave as a result of illness or an emergency, or to receive an excuse for a previous absence.

PRIDE PERIOD

In PRIDE Period, a group of about 25 students are assigned to a teacher. This teacher will serve as an advisor for the students in their academic decisions and college and career readiness throughout their high school career. During the first week of school, students will be assigned an advisor. It is possible that a different advisor may be assigned from the previous year. Please note ~ attendance is required in PRIDE as students earn their career credit through PRIDE period. TUTORIAL PERIOD

Students are assigned a Tutorial if they have failed a required course in the past in order to make up the credit and/or are currently failing a course. Tutorial assignments are adjusted about every 6 weeks, or as recommended for individual students. Attendance is taken for students assigned to Tutorial.

Please Note: Freshman and Sophomore students are not allowed Open Periods. Juniors will only be allowed Open Periods if they are attending LBCC and/or are participating in cooperative work experience and/or volunteer program/internships.
