Proper attire is needed for physical education class at JFK. Proper attire will help allow students to participate fully in the physical activities, help reduce the maintenance needed for the gym floor, and maintain the values of our Catholic school.
Grades K-8
SHOES: All students must have non-scuff gym shoes that are clean for gym use. Shoes must be properly secured as intended by the manufacturer and/or as needed to keep the shoes on and for safety at school.
Students who do not have appropriate shoes may not participate.
Grades 5-8
Students in grades 5-8 will not change clothes for gym; they may wear their gym clothes during the day on days when they have gym.
Gym Shorts: Gym shorts must be purchased through the school-identified vendor. The student’s name should be written on the tag. No other shorts are allowed for P.E.
Long Pants: Gym sweatpants or loose-fitting athletic pants that must be purchased through the school-identified vendor may be worn.
Gym Shirts & Sweatshirts: Properly sized crewneck gym JFK spirit wear t-shirts that must be purchased through the school-identified vendor are to be worn for gym class. Over their t-shirts, students may also wear sweatshirts, fleeces, and long-sleeve dry fits that meet the regular uniform policy. If students cannot raise their arms to their sides or above their heads without the top of their shorts still touching the bottom of their shirts, then the gym shirts are too small. If students’ shirts are as long as or longer than their gym shorts, the shirts are too big.
*Note on Sweatpants
We may substitute joggers (closed leg) when open leg are not available.
