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. The 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 simple as possible.
Please make sure to have your CHARGED Chromebook and something to write with, in class daily. A folder is suggested, but not required.
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 Total Health and Wellness, Health Triangle (Physical, Mental/Emotional Health, and Social Health, Growth & Development, Bullying & Cyberbullying, Safe/Unsafe Relationships (Erin's Law), Several Body Systems, Tobacco, 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:
PowerPoints/Notes
Group/Partner work
Individual work
At least 1 project
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.
DISCIPLINE- Every first offense is a warning. This means, it is documented in genesis so we (myself and administration) are aware of any behavior issues.
2nd offense, documented in genesis and a phone call home.
3rd offense, documented in genesis and a written referral sent to the office.
CELL PHONES- Cell phones are to be kept in your school issued locker.
THIS IS A NON NEGOTIABLE!
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.
