Course Description

This course is going to provide a variety of different activities and chances to improve fitness and general physical health. This could include but is not limited to: Personal Physical Fitness, Sport Skills, Game Play, Recreational Activities, Healthful Living, and Good Sportsmanship.

The goal of this course is to make students more aware of exercise habits and learn ways to improve them. We teach life skills and sports that can be enjoyed all through life. We strongly believe that no matter what we need to have a good attitude and use good sportsmanship in all situations.

  5. Breakfast is to take place in the cafeteria ONLY. If you are found in the gym/locker room eating your breakfast you will be sent out immediately.
  6. Senior privileges, study halls, or lunch periods don’t give you the right to interrupt a phys. ed. class.

Grading Policy

Participation and Preparation (80%)

Each student will receive points (0-5) daily for participation. Please see the Physical Education Rubric to see how your grade will be determined. Each student will receive 1 pt. daily for preparation. Ex: If a student is fully prepared including t-shirt, gym shorts (not jeans or khaki shorts), and appropriate shoes they will receive 1 pt for that class period. Daily grades will be scored out of 6 points.

Assessments: Skill Test/Quiz, Written Assignments(20%)

Students will be assessed at the end of units and there will be random quizzes and written assignments given throughout the year.

Attire

Proper PE attire includes loose shorts or sweatpant type pants, a t-shirt, (NO inappropriate sayings, logos, etc…) socks, and clean sneakers that can be tied. This attire is mandatory. Sneakers must be appropriate, must be able to be tied so they won’t come off, and they must not leave black marks on the gym floor. If the student is not properly attired for class this will cause a reduction in grade on the participation rubric for the day.

Medical

If a student has a medical problem, the doctor’s note should state what the student can do. Ex: If a student has a broken arm, the doctor could include that the student can walk or work out their lower body. We can modify the P.E. Program so that these students can still receive credit in our class. If the student isn’t allowed to participate, they will be assigned written work during class in the gymnasium. If there is a circumstance where the student must be removed from the gymnasium for safety reasons they will be assigned outside written work for their long term medical. These worksheets will be posted on the school website under teacher sites, Physical Education Department page. The student will need to access this page, click on medical reports, and choose the corresponding unit we are currently in. It will be the student’s responsibility to turn in assignments each Friday to their teacher.

Make-up Classes

If a student is absent, they need to make up their P.E. class before the end of the current unit. Once the unit ends, any class that wasn’t made up will then become a 0. Make-ups will be available anytime a student has a study hall as long as they are coming into a class that isn’t over populated. Please see your teacher before 1st period for a pass to be excused from your study hall. If the student does not have a study hall they will be required to access the written worksheets on the website in order to make up that class. If a student is absent due to a school related event (band lesson, field trip etc), no make-up is required. In the event that you choose not to participate during your class time, you will be required to make up that class during the current unit, and will lose your preparation point.
