Mission
Our mission is to facilitate students in improving their quality of life through
regular physical activity. This will be accomplished by using a studentcentered approach while teaching the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective
aspects of physical fitness and demonstrating personal responsibility in all
areas of the curriculum.

Expected Student Outcome

Participation in Physical Education shall require clothing appropriate to the
activity, such as, tennis shoes, shorts, t-shirts and sweatpants. This
promotes freedom of movement, safe participation, and builds a good
hygienic practice. Should a student not wear tennis shoes to school, they
can bring them in their book bag or store them in their locker and change
before class. Should a student have any special needs, they should see
their coach to make arrangements. Each unit will be 2 weeks long.
Students who do not participate in physical education activities will
lose their 5 points for that day.

F: 0% 59%
Students will be able to earn up to 5 points each day: 3 points for
participation in class and sportsmanship (respect for teacher and
classmates) and 2 points for dressing out in the appropriate gym attire. We
will also have written quizzes each month based on what we have learned
in the unit.

If a student needs to be excused from participating, they

must do the following:
Bring a signed and dated written note from a parent or guardian with a
valid reason (illness/injury) and phone number.
If the student has a serious illness or injury that will keep the student from
participating for more than three days a doctors note will be
required. I will then assign alternative work.

PE Dress/Attire
Sweatpants or Shorts
PE Shirt
Gym Shoes
Necklaces must be tucked under shirt

Classroom Rules
As a class we will develop classroom rules and consequences and I will
post the rules in the gym. This will promote accountability for all students in
class to act in a respectful and responsible manner
