Cibola High School Eight Day No Dress Guidelines:

Medical Excuses and Excused Absences:

• ALL excused medicals are required to dress for physical education (unless unable to do so due to the medical reason)

• In the event a student must miss or have class participation modified for 1 day due to a medical condition, a written note from a parent or legal guardian is required. Dated notes, written by the parent/guardian, must include:

• The student’s full name and ID number

• A phone number to reach the parent/guardian

• The specific limitations of the student

• A signature

More than 1 day on a medical excuse will require a note from a physician, indicating the student's limitation and length of modification. Students who miss class due to a Cibola High School Activity are excused from losing points but must make up work.

Make Up Work Policy

• All students with excused absences have the opportunity to make up the days missed. All make up work must be turned in 1 week from the day that the student returns to school. Make up work will consist of an approved workout that can be found in google classroom. Upon assignment completion students MUST fill out and submit the make-up assignment form located in google classroom. Students may also complete a 20 minute walk/run and submit proof of competition via screenshot of an app, smart device, etc. Mapmyrun or adidas run are two free apps that will track time and distance. Non-suits are unable to make up their dress out points.

Grading Policy:

Grades will be based on the following:

Students are graded on a daily grade of 25pts per class period including Mondays. Points are awarded to students for dressing out, participating, and being fully engaged in the class. Being present in the class does not assure you a passing grade.Therefore extra points can be deducted from a student’s daily grade that was dressed out for class. i.e. a student who dresses out for class but does not warm up or participate in the activity may lose up to the full 25 daily points. The goal in this course is to be involved and active with students. Grade Book Break Down You and your parents will be required to go to your Google classroom and find the “Weight Training Syllabus Agreement” assignment. This will take you to a form that must be filled out in order to get credit for accepting the aforementioned terms and conditions of the class.
