C. PARTICIPATION:

* Participation does not mean showing up for class.
* Participation does not mean dressing out.
* Participation does not meant standing around during activity.
**Participation involves playing the game within the framework of the rules, using correct skills and etiquette, cooperation, and sportsmanship!
FAILURE TO PARTICIPATE:
Students who are dressed out and refuse to participate in the daily activity will result in the following:

Students will have the choice of participating in the daily activity OR walking. If a student chooses to walk, they will have to meet the required number of steps using a pedometer in order to earn all daily participation points.
It is the student’s responsibility to report number of steps at the end of the hour to the PE instructor. Failure to do so will result in earning a 0 for the day.
Pedometer Criteria:
2700 – 3000 = 10 points
2400 – 2699 = 8 points
2100 – 2399 = 6 points
Under 2099 = 0 points
D. ABSENCES:
Anytime a student misses class, they must access the teacher’s website (see handout) and complete a written assignment to make up their daily participation points. For each day absent, the student is given one day after their return to school to submit the completed work (Ex. Student is absent on Monday—work is due on Wednesday. Student is absent Monday & Tuesday—work is due Friday).
E. MEDICAL EXCUSE POLICY:
Notes from parents or guardians excusing students from P.E. are good for ONE day at the teacher’s discretion. If the student is to be out of class longer than one day, a note from a doctor is required. If a student has medical excuse from a doctor, he/she is required to complete a written assignment for each day out. Any student who cannot participate in physical education classes for one week or more due to a doctor’s request, will be placed in study hall/library and will be given alternate assignments. The student is responsible for providing a medical clearance from the doctor before they are allowed to return to class.
