Course Description:
This course is designed to provide students with the necessary skills to develop personal and lifetime fitness and wellness. The content of this course includes team sports as well as individual and dual activities. Physical activity and participation are important for all students, regardless of their level of athletic skill or ability. Throughout various activities, students in our program will learn how to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives. In addition, we hope to instill enjoyment of physical activity, as well as an understanding of the importance of maintaining physical fitness. **This course is required to earn a high school diploma. JROTC may be substituted for PE1.

Grading Policy:
Major Grades 50% (Cognitive and psychomotor unit exams)

Daily Grades 10% (Participation/dressing out/homework)
Grading Scale: 90-100 =A; 80-89 =B; 70-79 =C; 60-69 =D; 59 and below =F
ALL MCHS ACADEMIC GUIDELINES WILL BE FOLLOWED IN MY CLASS. A COPY OF THESE GUIDELINES IS FOUND IN YOUR STUDENT HANDBOOK.
Each day you dress out and participate, a daily grade of 100 will go into the grade book. You will be allowed 2 “free” days to ie) forget your clothes, feel sick, etc. before your daily grade is affected. Parent notes can be used for these days. An alternative written assignment will be provided so that you can still earn up to a 100 on a “free” day. Each day after your second “free” day will count against your grade unless a DOCTOR’S excuse is provided. You will be given an alternative written assignment on these days as well. With this assignment, you can earn UP TO a 50 if the assignment is completed correctly. If you fail to complete the alternative written assignment, you will receive a zero for your daily grade that day.
At the end of each quarter, your daily grades will be averaged and entered into the grade book as a MAJOR Participation grade.
Make-Up Work:
Teachers will permit students to make up work missed during an absence as long as the student makes appropriate arrangements with the teacher no later than his/her fifth day back at school. The student must then complete the work within 10 days after his/her return to school. It is the student’s responsibility to inquire about make-up work due to absences and suspensions. A 0 will be entered into the grade book for the MISSING GRADE until it is turned in.
Tutoring/Extra Help Procedures:
If extra help is needed, all coaches are available. Although tutoring is typically unnecessary, the only time allotted is by individual appointment.
It is the student's responsibility to seek help from a coach. Tutoring is not offered after school due to coaches having practice year-round.

Homework:
You will be given multiple out of class assignments during this course. Just as in other courses you are taking, the assignments will count towards your overall grade. Failure to complete these assignments by the given due date will result in a decrease in your overall class average. The weight of out of class assignments will fall under the “daily grades” category in the grading policy.
Rules and Expectations:
Be Prepared- it is expected of you to come to class each day with the appropriate clothing and shoes. This is a PHYSICAL education course. Be prepared to move!
Be Punctual- be on time.
Be Positive- have FUN! Come with a good attitude and a positive mindset every day!
**If a student chooses not to dress out, or cannot dress out due to voluntary decisions, they will be given a written assignment to complete during that class and will only receive partial credit for that day. If the student refuses to complete the written assignment, they will receive a 0 for the day and will be put on a referral.
**I hold you accountable not for being perfect, but for always giving it your best effort. There will be activities that some enjoy more than others. I ask that you stay as positive as possible as well as encouraging to your classmates. Lack of good sportsmanship will not be tolerated.
**You are NOT allowed to leave my class to make up or finish work for another class. You are provided adequate time throughout the day to complete your assignments. Physical education is not a “free” period to hang out in the gym. You receive a grade for this class that you are held accountable for earning in which you will do so by being IN and APART of class.
**You may also not leave my class to go to the weight room on your own or with another class. You are enrolled in my class and you are my responsibility. You cannot leave Math to go to English. The same concept applies in Physical education ☺
** You will be given ten minutes after the bell rings to get dressed out and be ready to start class. Failure to meet this expectation will result in a daily grade deduction (2 pts per minute you are late). You will also be given 10 minutes at the end of class to freshen up before your next period. Ten minutes is adequate time and will not be used as an excuse to be late to your next class.
Instructional Units:
Possible units that will be available for this course are:
Softball Badminton Flag Football Volleyball
Handball Soccer Ultimate Pingpong
Basketball Tennis Fitnessgram Dodgeball
Yoga Dance Aerobics Yard Games Corn Hole
**There will be 6-8 units completed in this course. Each unit will consist of a cognitive and psychomotor assessment, various skill check offs and exit slips, as well as selective out of class assignments. Some assignments for these units may require internet connection. **
