    Grading Policy
    Students have the opportunity to receive five points per class. Students earn these points by being prepared with proper physical education attire, cooperating and following directions. If a student is unprepared, absent, missing class due to an instrumental lesson, on medical, or missing class for any other particular reason the students have the opportunity to make up the class. They may due so through one of two ways:
     
    1. Students may come down to the physical education department during their free time (study hall) and make up the class. They must come down, change into physical education attire and participate with the class for the day. This will make up their full five points previously deducted.
     
    2. If a students schedule and the teachers schedule do not align, or a student wishes to do so, they may make up their five point deduction via a written assignment. For this assignment the student must find an article in the newspaper, online, or in a magazine that pertains to sports, recreation, health, or physical activity. They must then read the article, and summarize it, and then express how the feel about the article within a 5-8 sentence typed written summary. This must be turned into their physical education teacher along with the article.
     
    Basic Procedures   
    • Excuses from Phys. Ed: In order to be excused from a class a student must have a note from a parent or guardian. For an extended medical, a Doctor's note must be submitted. The note should be turned in to the Health Office. The student will then be identified as a medical and will be given an alternative program. In most cases, students will write a paper assigned by the Physical Education Teacher.
    • Lockers: Students are encouraged to use the lockers provided in the locker rooms. A school lock may be purchased from the office to use on the lockers.
    • Clothing: For both indoor and outdoor activities, a complete change of clothes and sneakers are required. Failure to have a change of clothes will result in an unprepared which will lower a student's grade if not remediated.
    • Pool Unit: All students are required to participate in the pool unit in grades 6-8. Only a Doctor's note can excuse a student from the pool. Students on medical will be given an alternate unit. Options include a paper, project or another unit in the gymnasium.
    • Grading:  Participation/Social Responsibility and Safety = 80%  Application of Skill/Strategy and Rules = 20% There are 2 units each quarter that are averaged together to form the quarterly grade. In June, the four quarterly grades are averaged together to give a final grade. Students need a 65 or above on their final grade to pass the course.
    • Remediation: If a student misses a class in Physical Education for any reason, they do not get credit for that day. Therefore, classes should be remediated to avoid failure. If remediating an Unprepared, only 4 out of 5 points will be rewarded back. Students can make up an unprepared or absence by completing a daily research assignment. Class Cuts cannot be remediated.
    • Intramurals: Students should listen to daily announcements and look at Physical Education bulletin boards for intramural activity updates
