Class Expectations:
Come to class on time and in pe uniform
Actively participate in drills/games/exercises
Practice good sportsmanship
Be respectful of your peers
Give the best effort you can muster every day
Grading will be broken down into 3 weighted categories; participation (60%), fitness (30%), and skill tests (10%).
Each week we will work in our current unit and have 2 fitness days (workout Wednesday and a run day). Units are 4 weeks long. A skills test will be taken in most units.
Class Procedures
Students should go into the locker room and dress out everyday. The PE uniform consists of PE shirt (gray or white), PE shorts (black), athletics shoes (no Crocs) and socks. Sweatpants and sweatshirts can be worn over uniform. These sweatpants and sweatshirts should not be worn to school the rest of the day.
Absences/Parent Notes
Anytime a student is absent or excused with a note the student needs to make up the day by completing a PE make-up sheet. The make-up sheet requires the student to complete 30 minutes of activity for each day of PE missed. The activity can be an after school sport/club, riding a bike, hiking, dancing, walking the dog, etc. If a fitness day (Wednesday or run day) was missed then the student needs to talk to the teacher about when he/she can make it up during class.
