Physical Education Department grading policy.

The Grading Policy for Physical Education classes will consist of a point system with the maximum number of points being one hundred (100). Students will receive two (2) points for each day in attendance. One (1) point will be earned for dress/participation in the class and one (1) point will be earned for class attitude, behavior, participation and understanding the rules of the activity. This totals a possible maximum of eighty-eight points earned. A maximum of twelve (12) points can be earned for the written and skills test conducted at the end of the activity period. A student can earn a maximum of one hundred (100) points. A grade will then be calculated using the district grading scale based on the number of points a student has earned.

PE class attire - All students must change out of their school clothes and into their “PE” clothes. All t-shirts must be a shirt that was not worn to school that day . At no times are mid-drift, cut-off, V neck or sleeveless T-shirts, or athletic department game uniforms allowed as attire during class. Athletic shorts or sweatpants with no buckles, zippers or straps are to be worn. Jeans or any other jean material is not permitted. Jewelry is not permitted to be worn during PE classes. Footwear must be socks and sneakers. Work boots, ballet shoes, and sandals are not permitted. Improper footwear also results in being unprepared. Each unprepared is equal to -5 points. Any student who has five (5) unprepared days in any one (1) marking period fails physical education for that marking period. Parents/Guardians will be contacted after the third time. The PE staff has an open door policy with parents and guardians at all times during the marking period.

Locks & Locker Room - Students will receive a working school issued Master Lock and locker at the beginning of the school year to be used to safely store their personal belongings during PE class. If a lock is lost or misplaced, the student will be responsible for purchasing a new lock from the school for $5.00. The school and physical education staff is NOT responsible for any lost or stolen items. Students are NOT permitted to bring any electronic devices ( I-pods, mp3 players, cell phones or money) to be left in the lockers in the PE locker rooms. Students should also not leave their clothes or personal belongings out in the locker room without being locked in a locker. Students must return their locker lock at the end of the school year. Failure to do so will result in a $5.00 charge to cover the cost of the lock. If a student has a lock that has been removed or damaged in the locker room, it is the student’s responsibility to report this infraction to their health and/or physical education teacher immediately.
