Your citizenship grade is based upon the way you behave in class, interact with your teacher, and interact with your classmates.

If you receive 5 or more tardies, you earn an automatic “U” (this is a school-wide policy and not simply a PE rule).

If you are helpful to teammates and have a positive attitude, you can raise your citizenship grade.

Being a gate guard Being an exercise leader Being a lap leader Being an equipment monitor Completing a written assignment from the Sports Page

in the newspaper (You may print a Sports or Health & Fitness article from the LA Times or Daily News website)

Parent notes giving the reason for the excuse, as well as a daytime phone number, will excuse you from ONE day of PE.

1st situation: You arrive late to the PE area. You must be below the PE gate area before the 1st tardy bell.

2nd situation: You must be SITTING in your assigned squad by the 2nd tardy bell.

If you are tardy 5 times per quarter, you will earn an automatic “U”

Tardy

Your grade in Physical Education will be based on 300 total points. In order to be successful, you must follow these outlined guidelines.

Being “athletic” will not ensure you a good grade in Physical Education.

Being “smart” in other classes will not ensure you a good grade in Physical Education.

You are all capable of earning an “A”! There are three parts of your grade:

Preparedness/Dressing Testing Participation

Grading

100 points will be GIVEN to each student at the start of the quarter. Students will lose points based on the following violations

No PE uniform (both shirt and shorts) – 10 points Incomplete PE uniform (shirt OR shorts) – 5 points Failure to wash clothes – 5 points Chewing gum, food or drink – 5 points Wearing rings, watches, necklaces, earrings, etc. – 5 points Having a shirt, shorts, or pants under your uniform – 5 points Wearing inappropriate footwear (Uggs, Toms, heels) – 5

Preparedness/Dressing

You will earn points based on your performance on written tests/quizzes.

A minimum of 5 tests will be given. The test may be physical skills, written, or

performance based. They will test the overall knowledge of

specific activities.

Testing

Performance is the teacher’s evaluation of student’s ability and their daily demonstration of abilities.

Participation is both physical, and how you are involved a game, and emotional, and how you are engaged with your teammates and the physical task.

You earn points in the following ways: Daily exercises and warm-up lap Actively engaged in the daily activity Cooperation with teacher, classmates, and teammates to

provide a safe learning environment. Respect for all students, teachers, and equipment.

Participation

If you add up all the points in the above areas: Preparedness, Testing, and Participation, that will be your final grade.

We feel that a fair appraisal of student’s output in Physical Education will be measured.

Even a student with poor physical tests will be able to earn a passing grade.

Even a student with pool academic abilities will be able to earn a passing grade.
