Health Rules & Expectations

2024-2025


Welcome to Health! Our time together will be short, so we will be working rather quickly to get through everything. This cycle is about 23 days long and then you will have completed the Health requirement for the year! This class is NOT meant to be difficult and I try to make things as easy as possible. 


I do not expect anyone to go out and purchase a notebook. There will always be paper available (for notes and for written assignments). Chromebooks should always be in class as well.


During the 23 days with me, there will be at least 10 minor assignments and 3 major assignments. The 3 major assignments can either be tests and or a project. We will cover topics related to Nutrition, Mental & Emotional Health, Social Health, Growth & Development, Cyberbullying, Violence Prevention, Noncommunicable diseases and more. 


Everyone will have the opportunity in the classroom to complete all assigned work. I DO NOT assign homework. However, if classwork is not completed during the allotted time, I may ask for it to be completed for homework. This does not happen often. 


There will be a participation grade (a minor grade) and everyone will start with 100. This grade will remain a 100 if you are able to work well in groups, raise your hand to talk, have a positive attitude throughout your time with me, participate during discussions and class activities, have respect for yourself, your classmates, myself and the classroom, and try your best every day in class.


WHAT HEALTH CLASS WILL CONSIST OF:


BATHROOM- Please do not ask to go to the bathroom the first 10 minutes of class and the last 10 minutes of class. The bathrooms will not be open during those times.  


PASSES- You will need a pass whenever you are leaving the classroom. 



CELL PHONES- cell phones are to be kept in your locker.



If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out at any time. This information was explained during class time and will be posted in Google Classroom.
