GRADING:
Physical Education is an activity class that requires active, positive participation on a daily basis. Students in class are expected to dress daily and perform the activities to the best of their ability. Grading rubric is follows:
· MEDICAL EXCUSES: It is our philosophy that students well enough to come to school are well enough to dress and participate, to the best of their ability. In the case of medical excuses, students may be required to complete written assignments to acquire a passing grade.
· ATTENDANCE: Attendance is essential for a student to be successful.
· EQUIPMENT: Proper care of equipment is expected. Any abuse of equipment will result in the student's grade being affected along with being billed for any damage that has occurred.
· LOCKS, LOCKERS, & PERSONAL BELONGINGS
· EXITING CLASS: Students may go to their lockers after they are done changing. It is expected that students will not be disruptive in the hallway.
- Physical Education is based on the development of the mind and body. Educational objectives are reached through participating in mental and physical activity. In the Physical Education classroom students build their knowledge and level of physical fitness, explore and learn a wide variety of neuro-muscular skills, and develop responsible social behaviors that promote personal and group success. Written work and reading assignments provide for the integration of academic skills and present an opportunity for traditional cognitive challenges.
- Each course includes fitness components, skill development, proper use and care of equipment, rules, strategies, and etiquette. The emphasis is directed towards lifetime participation and fitness.
