Freshman Physical Education & Health Teacher
-
Students will be assigned to Physical Education during the first half of the year (semester 1) or the second half of the year (semester 2). During this time, students will receive PE and Health. Students will be instructed as to when they should report to health and when to report to PE. This information will also be added to my google classroom. PE/Health classes are blocked so they run for 90 minutes a day. For example: if students have PE period 1, they will stay in PE for period 2 as well.

Grading Policy
10 points daily
Students must change into PE attire using the locker room facilities. If a student does not change but does participate they will receive "some" credit. If a student changes but does not participate they will receive "no credit". Participation is extremely important and ALL STUDENTS are required to participate. If a student is injured or has a medical reason for not participating, a doctors note is required & that student will be assigned a study hall during PE where he/she can complete a written assignment for credit. If the written assignments are not completed and submitted by the end of that class period or week, the student will receive a ZERO. Grades are updated in parent portal on Friday. If we had 5 days of PE, the weekly grade would be out of 50 points (10 points a day).
PE UNIFORM:
The PE uniform policy can be found on the district website. You must wear a blue or black tshirt with navy shorts or sweat pants. No hoodies are permitted. Blue or black crew neck sweat shirts are allowed.
Assessments
We will have assessments throughout the school year. Assessments are based on the activities in class.
Health 1
Topics: health & wellness, stress, nutrition, healthy relationships/dating abuse, identity, lifelines
Movies by topic:
The Pursuit of Happyness (Stress)
No One Would Tell (healthy relationships/dating abuse)

Grading Policy
Work must be completed & submitted to receive credit. Participation also counts as a grade. Incomplete assignments will result in a ZERO. If a student is absent it is his/her responsibility to log into Google classroom and complete the assignments that they missed. The student must submit the assignment in a timely manner. If a student is out of school for an extended period of time, he/she will have an extended period of time to make up the work. All assignments are on google classroom so students have access to the work at home or in school. We will have quizzes and/or tests covering the material. Students will be expected to participate in class and we will also have some individual and group projects for students to engage in.
