Physical Education Class Procedures
Objective:
Physical Education is an integral part of a balanced education. This course will provide all students with an opportunity to learn about general movement concepts and apply them to a variety of physical activities. We strive to offer a developmental and age appropriate program in which to provide students with the knowledge and ability needed to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle. Our main goals include:
Movement Skills and Movement Knowledge
Self Image and Personal Physical Development
Social Development
Student Responsibilities:
Come to class each day completely prepared with all materials including:
Complete Physical Education uniform (MVPE t-shirt and shorts)
Shoes that tie (no slip-ons)
A water bottle is optional and is a privilege that can be removed by misuse.
Come to class ready to learn and participate with an open mind and a positive attitude.
Always be respectful to your teacher and other students.
Classroom Consequences:
Teacher will usually provide a warning on the first offense.
The second offense will result in a teacher detention of 13 min.
The third offense will result in a parent teacher phone call.
Referral to office.
“Pantsing” is an automatic suspension.
Keep in mind that some issues require a faster progression through the consequences.
Attendance:
Sit on roll call number or roll spot facing your teacher.
If roll begins and you are not in your spot you are TARDY.
Do not touch any equipment or apparatus that is set up for the class.
If a student brings a medical excuse and cannot participate in class activities they must write a one-page report for each day they are excused.
Warm-Ups:
Students will participate in many different warm ups that include a series of different dynamic stretches along with static stretches.
Warm-ups are part of your participation grade.
If you are excused from activity by a note, gentle stretching and modified activities may still be possible.
Class Activity:
Stay with your class at all times. Do not leave the P.E. area without teacher’s permission.
If balls go over fence into drainage ditch near Heritage House you must notify the teacher.
Students must report all injuries to teacher immediately using the number code: #1 (minor injury), #2 (possibly serious), #3 (serious, send for help).
Locker Room:
No food, gum or drinks allowed in locker room, gym or class activities. No glass containers or aerosol sprays allowed in locker room.
Students must be in locker room before tardy bell. Front doors will be locked after bell.
Be prepared to dress out every day (Rainy days included) unless the board gives other instructions.
Use bathroom during dressing time because the locker room will be locked during class activities.
Loaners are available with a student ID. Loaners must be requested before the teacher leaves the Physical Education office. Loaners must be returned immediately after your class is over.
Do not change lockers without teacher’s permission.
Do not share lockers, combinations or uniforms with anyone.
Lock up your valuables!!!!!
Do not leave locks or items in long lockers after your physical education class.
Backpacks must be left in the hallway outside the locker room.
Uniforms:
The MVPE uniform helps students to participate in physical activity to their fullest. It consists of black shorts and ash colored T-shirt. Both garments have a name label for identification. Every student should also keep a sweatshirt and/or sweatpants in their PE locker for cooler days. Socks and any type of athletic shoe that ties and provides adequate support are required. School clothes must not be worn under the PE uniform. Any student unable to purchase a uniform should speak to their teacher and arrangements will be made to assist them. Students may not wear their MVPE uniform in any classes other than physical education.
Medicals:
If a student is sick or injured, a note from the parent/guardian or doctor is required to be excused from physical education class activities. A note does not excuse a student from attending class, dressing out, or participating in modified warm-ups if capable and can safely complete. Students with a cast or broken bone are not required to dress out. A note from a parent will be honored for that day. If the medical condition exceeds one day another note is needed for each day. A doctor’s note is required for an extended period of time. Please ask the doctor to be specific as to the diagnosis of your child and what he/she can safely participate in (ie. No running but may walk, no contact sports, etc) If you would like your student to have an inhaler with him/her in class they need to have the appropriate self-medication forms completed our school Health Tech.
Make up Work
If a student brings a medical excuse and cannot participate in class activities they should talk to their teacher about what can be done to make up the work.
Grading:
Our main interest is each student being the best that he or she can be. We believe that taking part in class activities, trying to learn and grow and improve is far more important than how far the ball is thrown or how fast the race is run or how many games a team wins. Our grading policy attempts to foster responsibility, cooperation and a positive self-image by making a superior grade in physical education clearly attainable by all students.
Your grade is based on a point system. All participation, activities, homework, tests and quizzes are worth points.
There are 3 main categories that make up your grade:
Participation- including daily effort in warm-ups, fitness and unit activities
Fitness- mile runs, fitness logs and fitness tests
Written work- quizzes, tests, homework and projects
Participation is key to being successful in our class. Excessive absences or excuses from class may affect your grade. Those will excessive medical notes or absences should contact their teacher for make-up work.
Dismissal:
After the teacher reviews important points of the lesson and all students help with equipment, students will be allowed into the locker rooms.
After you are dressed you must leave locker room immediately.
Wait behind the gate for passing bell.
Take Physical Education uniform home every Thursday or Friday for washing.
PE Detention Policy:
