Welcome a new school year!

In an effort to help students remember the rules and expectations here at St. John Elementary a common discipline policy was created by the gym, library, and music teachers. Parents are requested to read through this policy with their child, and a signed contract will be put into place at the beginning of the school year.

Rules for Physical Education Class
1. Dress appropriately for gym
2. Behave appropriately in the locker room
3. Be courteous and respectful to other students and teachers
4. Have a Positive Attitude
5. Give your best effort
6. Be ready to learn and have fun!

For details on item #1 and #2 please refer to the St. John Elementary Physical Education Guidelines.
