PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The goal of the physical education
department is to enhance each student's life through a planned physical
education program. We promote fitness and health by encouraging
students' physical, mental, and social development. Students will
develop physical skills which will enable participation in a variety of
activities and lead to a lifetime of physical fitness and personal
health.
Grading Policy:
100 points = Participation
A
student will lose 10 points a day when he/she does not participate
without an excuse note from a parent or doctor.
100 points = Dressing Out
A
student will lose 5 points a day when he/she does not dress out
completely (shirt, shorts, & athletic shoes).
100 points = Written Test Average
A
student will take a written test at the end of every unit (ex.
softball, track, etc.).
Dressing Out
Students are required to dress out for physical education class in the
following:
1. Plain grey T-shirt
2. Dark colored shorts or sweatpants
3. Athletic shoes
Physical education shirts should only have the student's first initial
and last name written on the upper left chest area. The shorts
must be of a reasonable and respectable length with a minimum of a
three inch inseam. Form fitting shorts, such as spandex, and
shorts with writing across the seat of the pants will not be
allowed. To make sure all students are safe, students will not be
allowed to wear slip-on athletic shoes without a back heel. In
addition to required clothing, students should have a combination lock
for the P.E. locker. Personal hygiene items are also encouraged
and these items may be kept in their gym locker.
Medical Information
It is very inmportant that we know of any limitations to
activity. Students who can not particpate because of a health or
medical condition must have a note from a doctor or their
parents. A physician's note is needed if the student is to be
excused for five or more consecutive days. Students with asthma
should have an inhaler available at all times. In case of
extended lack of participation, alternate plans will be made.
