Physical Education

Core Class Syllabus and Course Expectations

GENERAL PROCEDURES / GUIDELINES

Physical Education is a daily participation class. Participation in PE can be rigorous. Daily

participation, effort, consistency, adherence to the syllabus, sportsmanship and improvement in

activities will be used to calculate the student’s grade.

Students will abide by the following general guidelines:

- No gum in class or locker room

- No food of any kind in class or locker room

- Bring a positive attitude

Locker Room Behavior: Students are to conduct themselves in a mature and respectful manner.

Horseplay, screaming, throwing things, hiding others belongings, etc… will not be tolerated in

the locker room. Students can receive a referral and/or suspension for such infractions.

Vandalism/ theft of any kind will result in suspension and possible police intervention.

ATTIRE

PE clothing must allow for freedom of movement and safety of the participants. In order to

provide a consistent, effective, and safe PE program ALL PE ATTIRE MUST BE NONRESTRICTVE.

Any type of street clothing is considered RESTRICTIVE (jackets, sweaters, jeans).

Sweats are the ONLY acceptable attire for additional warmth..

Shorts or Sweatpants: Clothing must fit properly at the waist. May not be worn as “sags” or low around the hips.

Shoes: Gym or tennis shoes ONLY. Street shoes, hiking boots, or ANY hard soled shoes restrict foot movement and will damage the gym floor.

PE MEDICAL PROCEDURES

1-3 Days: Students brings a written note from a parent or guardian stating the reason for the

medical excuse. The note must contain a parent or guardian day time phone number for

verification. The student will dress for class and brings the note to roll call.

4 or more days: The student must have a doctor’s verification with expected date of return.

Please have your doctor fill out the Doctor’s Medical Release Form. You may obtain this

document from your councilor, PE teacher or off the school website.

DRESS CUTTING PROCEDURE

Dressing for PE is an essential part of the class. Students who do not dress for PE will not be

able to earn full participation credit. It is important for a student to understand that

unrestrictive movement and basic hygiene are a vital part of their participation and education.

Students should refrain from sharing clothing as well as dress cutting. Students who dress cut

regularly could receive: parental contact, detention, and/or suspension.

PARTICIPATION

Physical Education is a daily participation class. Students are allowed three absences at no cost to grade.  If the student misses 10 days of class, for ANY reason (excused, unexcused absences, medicals, suspensions, school activities), the result will be a drop of one letter grade.  All absences and medicals may be made up during events at the PE teacher’s discretion.  Make arrangements with your teacher before attending additional events.

MAKE UPS

Students CANNOT make up dress cuts. . Student may make up, at their request and at the

teacher’s discretion, medical, suspensions, or excused absences in zero period. It is up to the

student to know if he/she needs to make up days. Once the quarter is over, it’s too late. Due to

time restraints, and because zero period is by choice and a privilege, there are no make up

sessions for zero period classes.
