Attendance
Participation is integral to this class. Since this class meets only 2-3 times a week after school, regular attendance is a requirement; thus, students with excessive absences will be dropped from the class or fail the semester.
· Students earn points on a daily basis by dressing out in athletic attire and by participating to the best of their abilities.
· A medical excuse from a doctor is required for any absence to be considered “excused” from grade penalty.
o Any such medical absence of more than three consecutive PE days will be handled on an individual basis.
o If a student is medically excused from physical activity the student must provide a written doctor’s note with details on the student’s limitations.
o Time credit for such medically excused absences may be earned by attending class and adhering to limitations.
· On occasion, the teacher may cancel class due to mandatory meetings, professional development or for emergencies.
o On such occasions, students must check in for attendance purposes unless instructed to do otherwise by Mrs. Frasca
o Mrs. Frasca will always do her best to provide as much advanced notice as possible.
Grading Policies
Academic Grades will be based on a point system that translates into the following percentages:
· Attendance and Participation = 50 points per hour (100 points per class meeting)
· Suiting in proper uniform = 20 points per day
· A = 100 - 90%; B = 89 - 80%; C = 79 - 70%; D = 69 - 60%; F = 59 – 50%
Students will earn 2 hours of class participation per session (4-6hrs per week) if they attend & participate fully.
· 60 total hours must be earned before a student can start working toward a 2nd semester’s credit.
o Do the math! If students are motivated they can get an A for one semester, have extra time left to start working on second semester and finish early!!
Grades will be updated every 2 weeks in Powerschool
Citizenship grades will be based on the PLHS Citizenship Rubric which includes appropriate behavior and the following tardy and truancy policies:
