Academic Policy
- Knowledge Concepts: Students will take an exam for each unit to test their knowledge acquired relating to various physical activities, sports, and physical fitness concepts.
- Active Engagement: Standing or sitting around in P.E. will not be awarded. Students must be actively engaged, vocal in their opinions during group activities, work independently, and work as a team member. Team members will report on the contribution of other members to keep everyone accountable. Participation in warm-ups, activity extensions, and game play is required in order to receive full credit.
- Homework/Projects: Students will have at least one homework assignment per unit. The homework will be used to assess the knowledge and skills that they have acquired about a sport or physical activity. Homework will be graded through a point system according to a pre-established rubric and will be turned in to the homework bin before class begins. A minimum of one project must be completed during their semester of PE, and will follow the same criteria as set for homework.
- Missed Homework / Late work: If a student fails to complete a homework assignment they may turn it in late and suffer 10 percentage point reductions for each day the assignment is late. It is the students’ responsibility to keep track of their grades and any missing assignments. If a student misses a day it is their responsibility to ask the teacher for any missing assignments or materials for that day. You will have one day for every day you are gone to complete your make-up work.
- Redoing assignments: Students will have the opportunity to redo each assignment one time. They will have three days to complete the redo once the assignment has been returned. The purpose of allowing students to redo assignments is to allow them to learn from their misunderstandings and mistakes and to take this knowledge and apply it more accurately to their work.
- Preparedness: Being prepared in the proper uniform is a vital aspect of Physical Education and understanding this leads to being better able to participate. Participation in warm-ups/stretching, activity extensions, and game play is required in order to receive full credit, and these will be made possible through wearing proper attire. Partial credit will be given for wearing improper attire.
- Skill Performance: Students will be tested on various skills that they acquire through the different sports and activities. These skills align with the CPS Scope & Sequence for PE and are an important part of gaining physical knowledge of various team sports and lifelong fitness concepts.
- Medical and Absence Policy: Written articles are expected for everyday missed of participation ( i.e. suspension, unexcused absence, medical notes/ absences, extended excused absences)
- Extended absences or medical notes excusing from physical activity require written articles for every 2 missed days.
- 1 article for every day suspended
- Written articles must be on a physical activity, nutrition, health, or fitness related concept
- Articles can be from online sources, magazines, newspapers, etc.
