North Ridge Physical Education Information

Welcome to the Physical Education Department of NorthRidgeMiddle School. Teachers will provide meaningful activities to help students grow physically, mentally, and socially.

ACTIVITIES

Our program will provide the students with various activity units throughout the year. The students will be exposed to traditional and non-traditional individual and team sports. Life long and fitness activities will also be included in the program.

GRADING

Your grade in physical education will be determined based on the following formula:

50% will be based on your ability to suit up correctly and participate in a

cooperative manner, weekly quizzes, projects, etc.

50% will be composed of your test average. We have four running tests per

six weeks that are designated running test days each test being worth a 100.

** If a student cannot take a test due to a Dr. note, they will write a paper either 1 pg typed or 2 pg written.

UNIFORM

The following uniform is required: All P.E. students must purchase a North Ridge Middle School P.E. Uniform (grey shirt and black shorts with last name on both shirt and shorts).

Sweat suits of any color are acceptable for inclement weather.

For all PE clothes, please iron on or print your students name on the back of the shirt. Also, place your students initials on the left leg on the shorts and their name in the waistband of the shorts. Students are required to wear some type of court shoe and socks in order to participate. No cleats or hiking shoes please.

If a student loses their uniform they may bring alternate clothing until another uniform can be purchased.

LOCKS

No student will be issued a locker until they have their lock for their locker.
