Physical Education

This course is designed to introduce students to a broad spectrum of team and individual sports and activities. A variety of units will be presented to teach skills and knowledge of the sport. The most important aspect for the students to learn is the importance of physical activity in their daily lives. Having fun, and trying to succeed are the keys for this Physical Education class.

Students will attend, dress, participate, and learn daily.

Attendance Each student will get 6 free absent days. After your 6th day you will then lose 20 points. If you are sick or injured a DOCTOR’S NOTE will excuse you (This will not affect your 6 free days). TARDIES AND LATE STUDENTS WILL RESULT IN -5 POINTS FOR THE DAY. IT WILL ALSO AFFECT CITIZENSHIP. (1st period students need to be aware of this) If you are going on vacation or have a sport related excuse you will need to let me know before you leave so we can make arrangements for after school make ups.

PARTICIPATION (10 POINTS) Parent notes will be required to excuse you from participating. If a student is to be excused from an activity for more than three days a doctor’s release will be required. A variety of sports will be introduced to spark interest for lifelong activities. No complaining about what sports or activities we are doing. Negative attitude will affect citizenship and grade. GIRLS WILL PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITES EVEN IF IT IS THAT TIME OF THE MONTH- THIS IS A FITNESS CLASS!!!

ASSESSMENTS- The boys and girls incorporate the Fitness Gram program which includes: PUSH UP TEST-- SIT AND REACH TEST-- PACER TEST –and MILE RUN.

First scores will be based off of last year’s average score. If for any reason I believe the student did not give their full effort, I will ask the student to retake the test. Some students make multiple excuses for not being able to take a test. If you are unable to take the test on testing day a note from a parent will be required. If you an unable to take the test at all a Doctor’s note will be required to excuse you. Each test will be given 2-3 times to compare fitness levels. Points will increase with each test taken. PLEASE HAVE YOUR INHALER if needed IN YOUR P.E. LOCKER!

If you are absent for any reason, tests are made up on MONDAY after school.

*Written/computer work is part of the curriculum which broadens the knowledge of life long fitness. There will be a test after each unit.

DRESS (10 points) School dress code enforced!!! PE Uniforms are required for this class. These are offered for the convenience of the student and to ensure the clothes are correct for class requirements.

Reasons for the uniforms:

1- Resolves the issue of too short of shorts.

2- Resolves the issue of low v-neck shirts.

3- Makes it easier to tell who has dressed out for class.

4- Personal hygiene

5- Team unity

If you forget your shirt for example you will lose 5 points.

Lockers will be assigned the first week of class. Please keep it locked at all times! R.M.M.S. is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Sharing is NOT ALLOWED! Please memorize your combo! I will not give out other combinations. Broken locker fine is $25.00. Please make sure there are NO PHONES in the locker room due cameras on the phones.

When checking grades online you will see D.P. which stands for daily points. YOU WILL LOSE POINTS towards your grade and. citizenship if you are late to class, not dressing, and not participating. Sometimes I will give extra credit for activities done in class only.
