Course Expectations

Skills

Students will be evaluated on progression of skills within a certain sport. You do not have to become a pro athlete, we are simply looking for improvement from where you started.

Fitness Testing

Fitness Testing is the summative test to prove that students have been improving their physical fitness throughout the semester. We do an initial test at the start of the semester. Students are required to BEAT their score from the beginning in order to pass the final fitness test.

Changing

Students are expected to change for every class. This is vital not only for Health and Safety reasons, but also to fulfill the curriculum objectives of hygiene. If a student is not changed two days in a row, parents will be phoned. Change means athletic clothing and athletic shoes – NO SKATE SHOES! If any one piece is missing, you are considered not changed.

Participation

Each student is expected to participate to the best of their ability each day in whatever we may be doing. This includes having a positive attitude and displaying good sportsmanship. Marks will be deducted if a student shows a poor attitude. We will be off campus several times during the semester, since times and activities change, if there is an issue please contact the instructor.

Exemptions

By order of Alberta Education, the only reason for being excused from Physical Education is for Medical Reasons. In this case, the school will need a formal letter from a Medical Doctor. A Parent note is not sufficient. If you cannot get a doctor’s note, you will not be excused from the activity and will receive a zero. (Page 3, Physical Education Program of Studies)
