Classes missed for absence or disciplinary reasons must be made up as so as possible. P.E. grading system is based on being prepared for class with proper P. E. uniform. (Boys) Two shirts, one blue and one white; blue gym shorts; and proper gym sneakers. (Girls) A white shirt, blue shorts, and proper gym sneakers.
