PE UNIFORM REQUIREMENT: Gray Shirt, Black Shorts, Athletic Shoes

Uniforms do NOT have to be purchased online through Susquehanna Apparel, however, this provides a quick and convenient way to purchase an approved uniform. Students are welcome to bring a gray shirt and/or black shorts from home or ones purchased at a store of their choice. Please remember, when choosing a gym uniform, your student will be writing their name on it at the start of the school year. If your student will be providing their own uniform, it must be school appropriate, free of offensive language, and shorts of an appropriate length as described in the handbook. 

You may want to bring sweats to keep in your PE locker in case of a cool morning or day! When the weather is pleasant, we will begin holding classes outside. You may choose to dress more warmly then. Sneakers may get wet from the grass. If you are scheduled for morning PE classes, it is wise to have an extra pair of socks, and if possible, a pair of dry shoes to change into after PE class. Always take any clothing that is damp or wet home with you to be laundered.
