PE Materials

• Students must bring their Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) bands and Chromebooks to class when instructed. It is recommended to keep HRM bands in your PE locker for daily use.

• Cell phones are not permitted in class unless pre-approved by the teacher for instructional purposes. Phones should be secured in lockers during PE.

• Do not bring valuable items to PE class. Students are responsible for their belongings.

The PE locker rooms provide a secure space for students to store their belongings and prepare for class, and all students are expected to follow these guidelines to ensure safety, privacy, and proper use of the facilities.

Locker Assignment & Access

• Students are assigned a PE locker in the Gym Wing when they enter ETHS.

• Lockers and locker rooms are assigned based on the student’s gender in the official student record. Families and students may request a change to align with gender identity using the Student Advocacy Form, including requests for access to the All-Gender Locker Room.

• Any student seeking increased privacy, for any reason, may request access to private changing or restroom spaces via the Student Advocacy Form.

---

Locker Use & Security

• PE lockers have integrated locks; however, students need a personal lock during the swim unit to secure belongings in the pool locker room.

• Locker combinations are confidential and not shared with staff, including PE teachers, athletics staff, or safety personnel. Students can access their locker number and combination in the myETHS. The PE Office can retrieve combinations if needed. Students without myETHS access should visit the PE Office (G115) for assistance.

• Students are responsible for locking their lockers after each use and spinning the dial to ensure it is secure.

---

Student Responsibilities

• Do not share lockers or locker combinations with anyone.

• Students are responsible for all items in their assigned locker.

• Expensive items, cash, or valuables should not be stored in PE lockers.

• Report lost, stolen, or damaged property using the Lost Property Report Form and notify the locker room attendant and PE Office (G115) of any locker issues.

• During the swim unit, personal locks must be removed at the end of each class period.

End-of-Year Procedures

• All students must vacate their PE lockers on the designated locker clean-out date near the end of the school year.

• Any items left after the clean-out will be removed and cannot be retrieved.

Students who are unable to participate in physical activity due to a medical issue must follow these procedures:
