SCHOOL YEAR GREENSHEET
-COURSE DESCRIPTION-
Physical Education Elective (10, 11, and 12) Program:
The elective program is designed to allow individual choice in the selection of physical education activities. These courses offer significantly different curriculum, but they all share similar grading procedures:
WEIGHT TRAINING
RACQUET SPORTS
TEAM BASKETBALL
TOTAL FITNESS
-ATTENDANCE POLICY-
General Attendance and Tardy Policy:
All physical education students are expected to attend class regularly and remain in the designated P.E. area until the passing bell rings at the end of the period. Any student outside this area will be considered cutting class and the instructor or campus supervisor will adjust the attendance record to reflect this cut. All students not at their roll call station five (5) minutes after the tardy bell will be marked tardy.
Special Attendance Procedures Due to Medical Concerns:
Students with an illness of 3 days or less, shall bring a note from home to their instructor at the beginning of class. The student is to dress out while on the medical release. Students with an illness or injury of more than 3 days are required to bring a note from a doctor. This note is to be presented to the instructor at the beginning of class and will be attached to the student's attendance record. Students with a medical excuse from a doctor for more than 50% of any six-week grading period will be assigned a pass/fail grade for that grading period. Students requiring extended medical exemption may be asked to find alternative placement and re- enter physical education upon release from doctor.
Excused Absence and Make up:
Students who miss a skill, and/or written test because of medical or other excused absence will be expected to make up the test or the activity that they missed. Upon returning to class, it is the student's responsibility to see the appropriate instructor for setting up any necessary makeup. Such makeup may require time before or after school to complete. Many make-ups can occur during Tutorial time.
Students missing more than 2 weeks or on injury modified curriculum will be put on a Pass/Fail grading procedure.
-EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENT BEHAVIOR-
All students are expected to act with the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and fairness.
· Any student who exhibits behavior, which, in the judgment of the teacher, indicates dishonesty on an examination, assignment (including those electronically produced), or in-class activity, or who aids in the dishonesty of a fellow student, shall receive no credit for that work and/ or the loss of up to one full letter grade for the semester. Any second incident of dishonesty will result in a grade "F" for the semester.
· Any student involved in any activity for the purpose of altering or falsifying records, removing or copying of materials, including those either written or electronically produced, shall be disciplined by the principal or designee. Action may include: detention; suspension; a grade of "F" for the semester; permanent dismissal from the course with the loss of credit.

Opportunities for Make-Up:

Semester grades will be the average of the periodic rubric checks.

Sweats may be worn over uniform, but not over school clothes. 11th and 12th graders may wear suitable athletic attire - no open toed shoes, cargo shorts, collared shirts, dresses, or pants are acceptable.
-TEACHER AVAILABILITY-
