Grades / Class Codes

GRADING SYSTEM (see page 11 of Handbook)

Student’s grades are derived from their daily active participation in the classroom setting.  For this reason, students need to actively participate in all class activities to earn credit toward the performance portion of their grade.  In order to participate, students need to be dressed appropriately for physical activity, including athletic clothing and footwear.  Students can then maximize their daily grade through active participation, engagement in skill development, and demonstration of appropriate social behaviors (respect, sportsmanship, etc.). 

• Each student will begin class with 11 points. Points can be taken away if:

Uniform (3 points)

The student does not have the appropriate gym uniform

St. Linus physical education authorized t-shirt or sweatshirt (Hawktoberfest t-shirts are allowed)

St. Linus physical education authorized shorts or sweatpants

Gym shoes

Poor Behavior (3 points)

The student does not demonstrate good sportsmanship 

The student demonstrates disruptive behavior that causes others the opportunity to participate and enjoy the benefits of being physically active 

Participation/Effort (3 points)

The student does not participate to the best of his/her ability 

The student does not give effort that is equal to her/his skill and ability level 

Unwilling to demonstrate a willingness to improve skills or fitness levels. 

Entering/Leaving the Gym (2 points)

The student does not enter or leave the gym according to class rules. The rules include: 

Goes to assigned seat at the beginning of class

Lining up at the end of class and demonstrating proper behavior

Points will be tallied at the end of each semester and translated into a percentage/letter grade 

           A = 100 – 92.5%                                    D = 74.4 – 69.5%

           B = 92.4 – 84.5%                                  F = 69.4% or below

           C = 84.4 – 74.5%

HONOR ROLL

• The St. Linus honor roll for Junior High students is based upon a grade point system.  The honor roll is based on the following system:

  •      For every "A" a student will receive four points.

  •      For every "B" a student will receive three points

  •      For every "C" a student will receive two points.

  •      For every "D" a student will receive one point.

     High Honors  3.45 – 4.00                       Honors  3.00 – 3.44

Any student receiving an "F" is automatically excluded from the honor roll.
