Participation Policy:
All students are expected to participate in Physical Education class every day.
To be excused from participation for a medical reason without penalty, students are required to provide a note that is written and signed by either a parent/guardian, the school nurse, or a medical provider.
Please note, athletes who do not participate in P.E. class may not be allowed to participate in an after school sport that afternoon. There is also a code of conduct for all student-athletes to follow this year
Dress Code & Other Policies
Students are encouraged to wear athletic clothing to PE class. This means:
Clothing appropriate for the temperature (sometimes it can be really hot or really cold in the gym). Also, being prepared to be inside or outside. We recommend students keep extra clothing in their locker or backpack (t-shirt, sweatshirt, shorts, athletic pants, leggings, etc.).
Wearing sneakers/athletic/close-toed shoes. Sandals/high heels/no shoes will not be allowed and you will be given an alternative activity or asked to sit out
Bathroom policy. There will be 2 bathroom passes that students may take and return when using the bathroom. This year, all students will use the locker room bathrooms or gender neutral bathroom above stairs near the band room.
PHONES, loose jewelry, backpacks or any other electronic device (including Chromebooks) should not be brought to class.
No food (including gum) or drinks, with the exception of water bottles are allowed inside of the gym. Please put your name on your water bottle.
Tardies/Skips - All students are expected to be INSIDE of the gym by passing. More than 2 unexcused tardies will result in a callback/communication home. Skipping class is unacceptable and will result in a callback/communication home right away.
Grading
A student’s grade will be based on the ‘5-Point Daily Grade’ (80%) and unit and skills assessments (20%). Unit assessments may be performance-based, pen & paper, peer or self assessment, and allow for students to demonstrate understanding of what we cover in class.
*Students will be asked to grade themselves from time-to-time (out of 5-points) so they understand their grade.
