Dear Parents & Student,
Welcome to the Stall High School Physical Education Program. We are looking forward to the opportunity of providing your child with a meaningful, quality experience. We believe Physical Education is more than games, sports, and fitness. The goal of our program is to help ALL students develop into physically educated individuals, one who has mastered the necessary movement skills to participate confidently in many different forms of physical activity and understands that both are intimately related to health and well being.
Our philosophy is “EVERYONE CAN.” We will see to it that all students, regardless of their athletic ability, will have a variety of opportunities in Physical Education and enrich their lives through physical activity.
Physical Education is important for many reasons. We at Stall High School believe that well planned physical education programs can help students establish lifetime patterns of wholesome and rewarding physical activities, and can help students understand the relationship of exercise, diet, rest, and relaxation to all aspects of health. It has been found that there is a direct link between Physical Education and academic learning. The healthy, physically active child is more likely to be academically motivated, alert, and successful. Furthermore, the child who is well educated physically is likely to become a healthy adult who will be motivated to remain healthy. To that end, Stall strives to follow the South Carolina Physical Education standards. The goals are movement skills and movement knowledge, physical fitness, self -image, and socially acceptable behavior.
Your support to our program is appreciated. We are requesting that you and your student read the information provided and SEND BACK THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THIS PAGE SIGNED BY BOTH YOU AND YOUR CHILD. If you have any questions please feel free to contact any one of us at Stall High School.
Thanks,
Physical Education Staff

A parent or guardian’s note will not excuse a student from dressing for class. The note will excuse the student from participation in an activity. These notes are only good for three days. A doctor’s note is required after that time. Students are to dress everyday unless a doctor excuses him/her.
For doctor’s excuses longer than three days, students should still report to class unless the instructor has made other arrangements. Written work may be assigned to students so that a grade and credit for class work may be given. This work must be turned in on a regular basis. Please note that menstruation is not an excuse from participation in physical education class unless you have a physician note.

Physical Education Grading Policy
30% of your grade is based on:
· Workout Card Completion

· Practical Exercise Demonstration and Competency
· Max-Out Completion
70% of your grade is based on:
· Dress and participation
· Attendance
· Preparation for class
· Effort
· Initiative
· Leadership
· Cooperation
· Sportsmanship
Each student can earn up to 10 points weekly. The weekly 10 points are comprised of two key elements: daily effort/participation, and progression in their workouts. Dressing out everyday, and completing workout cards will enable the student to earn the full 10 points.
Students have the opportunity to earn special Stall Weightlifting T-shirts by exhibiting excellent effort, showing consistent improvement, and winning weekly competitions.
If a student chooses to not wear his/her PE uniform for that day, he/she will be assigned a chapter out of a Strength and Conditioning textbook, and receive a “0” for the day. In addition, they will take notes from a specified chapter, and turn in at the end of class.
At the end of the nine weeks the points will be totaled for a grade based on the number of days the students have had physical education.
