- Skills assessment, quick writes, and written test 20 % of daily grade
- Dress20% of grade
- Tardiness/ being on time for class 10%
REQUIRED DRESS AND PARTICIPATION
All students must dress for gym on designated days. Mondays are Health Education days, therefore we will not dress for gym as well as half day schedules. Otherwise, students are expected to dress and participate without excuse. However, if unable to dress or participate, an excused letter must be provided by parent or guardian, a doctor, or the school nurse.
CLASSROOM PROCEDURES:
- Students must be in the gym before the tardy bell and will have five minutes before and after class to dress and prepare for activity or for their next class.
- All students are expected to participate in warm up exercises and the class activity at all times and are expected to do so to the best of their ability.
- Several of our units will be conducted outdoors, therefore please be aware of this for those who may have allergies, asthma, etc.(Please contact the school Nurse to make sure treatment/pumps are kept on hand).
- Once class has ended, students are expected to follow safety procedures to end the class, move to a designated location, put away all equipment, and sit quietly for the dismissal bell. Moving as one class will ensure the safety of all students, and it will enable me to supervise everyone at the same time.
