Pedometer Use Guidelines Pedometer Use Guidelines

• 1. Only 1 pedometer may be given to each SES

student while at SES.

• 2. If you see someone shaking their pedometer

please report it to Mrs. Serrell or Mr. Neff.

• 3. If you lose, damage or break it you are

responsible for replacing it or reimbursing SES $15. There will be a monthly check to make sure you still have your pedometer. If your are not using it to participate in the program, we will ask for the pedometer back to let another student use it.

that needs replacing. You are responsible for buying a new battery at Radio Shack.
