by Ronnie Blackburn
Grading Policy:
*Grades will be determined from the following:
- Dressing out, participating, clothing, class attendance, attitude, etc. (10 points daily): 60%
- Sports rules and history quizzes (10-20 points apiece): 10%
- Heart rate/fitness test (10-20 points apiece; points may be altered by instructor): 30%
*Grades will be reduced based on the following:
- Food or gum in this area
- Non-suits (failure to dress out in gym clothes for class)
- Not staying in locker room
- Tardy to locker rooms or being late for roll call
- Leaving without permission
- Class disturbances (improper language, attitude, behavior problems as seen by instructor)
*Grading scale:
90-100%: A 80-89%: B 70-79%: C 60-69%: D 0-59%: F
Clothing Requirements:
You will be required to wear black gym shorts (no tights). Shorts must be longer than finger-tip length with arms hanging at your side! A grey (Miller) or green (Myears) Mulvane PE T-shirt is required. Additional T-shirts may be purchased for $5.00 as needed! Tennis shoes (no cleats or black-soled shoes) and white athletic socks are required. You will be required to wear these items every day during PE class. These items must be different from the clothes worn to school (shoes included).
Not dressing out for class will result in the following:
1 non-suit in quarter = loss of 10 daily points!
2 non-suits in quarter = grade lowered to a “B”!
3 non-suits in quarter = grade lowered to a “C”!
4 non-suits in quarter = grade lowered to a “D”!
5 non-suits or more in quarter = grade lowered to a “F”!
If you are sick, the instructor must receive a note from one of your parents that explains your illness. The notes do not excuse you from dressing out, but it can excuse you from participation for that day. If you are going to miss more than one day, the instructor must receive a note from your doctor that explains your illness. Both notes should state the nature of your injury or illness, the activities you cannot participate in, and the length of time you should refrain from participation. Make-up papers will be completed on the days that PE was missed for injuries. 10 minutes make-up runs will be completed for all other missed days.
Make-up work:
The instructor will accept no late work. If a student is absent from class, they will have 2 days from their return to school to turn in anything missed.
Discipline:
Students will be expected to act in an appropriate manner. Respecting others and coming to class ready to learn will be expected. Detentions are served within the next 2 days at 7:25 in the morning!
