Course Description: This class will provide students with a variety of activities in which they will be actively participating in each day. In addition, we will also examine many health issues that are impacting high school students and adults today.
Grading:
The grading for this class will consist of two areas, participation and written work. Since the success of this class is dependent upon the participation of each and every student in the class, 60% of each quarter grade will come from your participation in class. The other 40% will be based on your performance on tests, quizzes, and assignments that will be done throughout the year over the different units.
Each quarterly grade counts towards 45% of your semester grade while the final exam counts towards the remaining 10%.
Students may earn up to 5 points each day by fully participating in class. These points are given for being correctly dressed out, your attitude, and your effort in the class activity each day.
Grading Scale:
93-100%…A

Your P.E. uniform needs to be taken home and laundered every Friday. MAKE SURE TO BRING IT BACK ON MONDAY!
Because this is an activity class, it is important for you to suit up when required and participate fully. If you do not dress out fully, you will walk during class time as well as complete a written assignment due the following day.
Failing to dress out once during a quarter will result in losing all daily participation points. Every no dress there after will result in losing points as well as receiving a demerit for not being prepared for class.
Policies:
No gum or candy allowed in class.
No food or drinks allowed in the gym or locker room!!
Be sure to put and lock everything in your locker after changing in the locker room.
If you choose to shower after the activity, please put your towel in the proper place and do not bring any toiletries with glass containers.
If you are asthmatic and use an inhaler, bring it to class or you will not be able to participate.
Please inform your teacher of any medical condition that might be affected by your Physical Education class.
Be supportive and respectful of your classmates. We don’t allow put downs or swearing.
ALL PARTICIPATION MUST BE IN A SAFE MANNER!!
Procedures
- Students must be in their assigned spots in the gym when the bell rings. Failure to be in the correct spot will result in being counted tardy.
- Students will receive 5 minutes to change into their uniforms after being dismissed to the locker room. If students are not back in the gym in the allotted time, points will be taken off of their daily grade.
- No restroom passes will be allowed; take care of it before or after class.
- Students will have 10 minutes at the end of class to change out of their uniforms.
Cheating:
Giving, taking, and or being associated with the giving of information during a test, exam or any other assignments will result in a grade of ZERO for that assignment or test.
Make-up Work:
Students who miss an assignment in class due to an excused absence are responsible for getting the assignment from me.
If a test is missed, you cannot make it up during class. This can be done before school at 7:00 or at the availability of the teacher. If a test is not made up, a zero will be given for the grade.
If you have been suspended, either in-school or out of school, you will lose your daily participation points. You will be able to make up any written work but it will be dropped one letter grade.
No late work will be accepted. Be responsible and turn your work in.
