After the 30 minutes they have to return to their teacher, and verify their activity. Students will be expected to be prepared for activity. They must be in PE appropriate attire, which must include sneakers.

Physical Education is a participation-type class, attendance is of paramount importance. Grading is based on preparation (20%), participation (40%) and a variety of assessments (40%). If a student misses a class for any reason he/she should see his/her teacher immediately for information about how to make up that time.
