Wellness PE Expectations

Following these guidelines will make our year a positive experience. We as teachers want to offer you numerous activities that will provide you with the opportunity to learn and develop new skills, become acquainted with lifetime activities, improve your level of physical fitness and have fun. Your cooperation is expected and appreciated.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR WELLNESS PE:

*It is required of every student that while in PE to be dressed and ready for activity every day. The PE uniform should consist of athletic shoes, socks, shirt, shorts or sweats. Nothing that is indecent, unsafe or restricts mobility will be allowed.

*Be in the gym five minutes after designated time for class to begin for attendance and warm-ups.

*Securing your belongings is your responsibility. Do not bring large sums of money or valuable items. Keep your lockers locked!

*I do not want to see ipods, cell phones, etc. in PE.

*Language or behavior which is obscene or abusive will not be tolerated.

*The equipment that we purchase for student use is expensive and our budget is limited, students who abuse the facilities or equipment may loose their right to use them. Students may be charged for replacement or repair of damaged equipment or facilities.

*Athletes are not excused from dressing down and participating on game days.

*Fitness testing is for your own benefit, try to improve!!

PE MAKE-UPS:

All excused absences need to be made up by doing a PE make-up. If it is an unexcused absence you will not have the opportunity to make this up. PE make-ups will be done on your own time. Pick up a PE make up form and follow the instructions, forms will be available in the classroom and in my roll book – please ask for them. You will be participating in an activity as well as writing a paper on the back of the form. The make up need to be turned in within two weeks of absence.

NOT Dressing down – including not wearing appropriate shoes:

If you are not dressed down you will only receive half credit for the day. You will be required to participate in the activity. The only person sitting out is the person with a note from a parent or doctor explaining the restrictions of activity. Non-suits may not be made up. Not dressing down for PE is the quickest way to fail this class. To be considered dressed down you must have shorts/sweats, t-shirt/sweatshirt and tennis shoes or “sneakers”. The clothes must not be the same clothes that you wore to school that day.

It will be necessary to average your Health grade with your PE grade proportionally. You must pass both in order to receive a credit for Wellness.

Wellness CLASSROOM Expectations

Your grade in Health will be compiled throughout the semester and totaled at the end. Your grade will be determined by your work on worksheets/assignments, tests, quizzes and participation/behavior. A standard percentage scale will be used to establish your grade (Ex. 90 – 100 = A). I will accept late work until the end of the particular 2 week unit, however, there are situations that arise that may extend this. I encourage you to use the time that I give you in class wisely. I am always available to give you extra help if you are struggling. We may have a written final on all of the topics at the end of the semester.

It will be necessary to average your Health grade with your PE grade proportionally. You must pass both in order to receive a credit for Wellness.

The topics we are covering require a lot of discussion on your part. In order to make the class an enjoyable one, please plan on being involved and give your input and opinions when appropriate.

I highly encourage you to keep a notebook that has all of your work from the semester including tests, reports, homework, etc. If we have a final at the end of the semester, all of your work will be helpful in studying for the final.

Finally, respect yourself, respect others and respect the property in this classroom. Swearing is not allowed. Inappropriate use of language and derogatory comments of any kind will not be tolerated.

Cell phone and IPOD usage will not be allowed during instruction/discussion time.

****ALWAYS FIND OUT WHAT YOU MISSED WHEN YOU WERE ABSENT****

I have read and fully understand these expectations and the new PE make up system.
