Grades for each of these assessments are included in the student’s grade.

In addition, assessments covering rules, strategies, as well as other evaluation tools concerning each activity will be utilized by the PE teachers as part of their grade. Failure to dress and/or participate for the day will result in the following consequences. These consequences will apply each 9 week period.

2. No student is allowed to bring their cell phone out into the gym during activities. Consequence: cell phone will be taken and given to administration. Student will receive detention.
3. Students must bring a school pass to their attendance teacher-either white (excused) or blue (unexcused) for every absence. All passes will be considered blue until teacher is presented a white pass.
4. Each student must keep their clothes and valuables in a locked locker during PE class. There should be no sharing of lockers with a friend. We strongly recommend using a combination lock.
5. We do not accept parental notes requesting their son/daughter not take gym due to an “illness” or other excuse. Students should dress and participate as much as they are able. If student requests to go to the clinic, the nurse will determine if student shall return to PE class.
