5)       Boots, sandals, flats, or flip flops are not allowed for participation.

Students will be expected to participate in class every day, even if they do not have the appropriate attire.

GRADING PROCEDURES

·         The student’s final grade will be determined by an average of the weekly skills assessment, exercise log, and written assessments

Skills Assessment

Students will be assessed in the following three categories throughout the semester:

                Skill/Fitness Performance-Demonstrates proper exercise technique, uses feedback to correct movement patterns

                Cognitive Knowledge-describes principles of training, analyzes movement patterns, describe concepts of activity

                Self/Social Responsibility- demonstrates safety awareness, self-responsibility, accepts challenges

WRITTEN ASSESSMENTS

• Students will receive a study guide prior to the written test that will be administered at the end of each unit. 
• When students are absent from class on a test day, they will take the test upon returning to school. 
• Failure to do this will result in a “zero” for that particular assignment. 

                                                                                                Exercise Log

Students will particpate in class exercise log activities throughout the course in order to increase personal fitness choices

EXCUSES

• A note from a parent will excuse a student from participation, but they will be given the task handout to complete
• If your child needs to be excused for more than two days, he or she will need to bring a doctor’s note.
• Students with extended illnesses will be required to keep a P.E. notebook.

Please help us by making sure your son or daughter is prepared for class daily.
