Freshmen Physical Education

FRESHMEN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

*It is the responsibility of each student to

 understand and abide by the classroom guidelines*

Development of our students to enhance their personal health and fitness level is the priority of the Freshmen Physical Education curriculum.   It serves as an introduction to several types of physical activity throughout the semester.  The Freshmen Physical Education Staff promotes that all students perform at their best and strive for personal improvement throughout the semester. An important element of this course will be the achievement received on personal goals established and accomplished throughout the semester.  Our goal is to improve and maintain the health and fitness level of our students, and to give them a foundation for lifelong fitness through exercise and different types of sports.

The following scale will determine your grade:

 

A 90%-100%

B 80%-89%

C 70%-79%

D 60%-69%

F 0% - 59%

Note:  Semester grades are cumulative.

GRADING

There will be two categories for grading each triad.  

• CLASSWORK (Appropriate West P. E. Uniform/Participation/Attendance)-150 points per triad for dressing and/or participation each day.  All 150 points will be issued at the beginning of each quarter.  Students will lose 10 points from this category for each day they choose not to dress out and/or participate for Physical Education.  

• PARTICIPATION (Active Participation, Effort, behavior and attendance)– up to 

• 3 points per day for active participation, effort, behavior and/or attendance (if a student does not dress out, they will receive a zero in participation for the day).   

• Semester grades will be cumulative.

Physical Education Guidelines

• Physical Education uniform - Students are required to dress in the required Physical Education Uniform (PE shirt, PE shorts, PE Sweats and tennis shoes).  Any other attire may result in a full dress cut for that day. Names should be clearly written on the shorts and shirt (first initial and last name).  

• Rental - A rental uniform may be available for $1.00 with an I.D as collateral. However, rental is not a guarantee daily so you should be prepared with your own required uniform. 

• Cell Phones – Cell phones will NOT be allowed in Physical Education.  If you bring your cell phone to class, you will receive a cell phone referral and will be sent to the office.  This may result in a loss of points in the participation category for the day.  Students should lock up their cell phones in the locker room or hall lockers.  

• Physical Education Locker -Clothing, cell phone, shoes, and any personal items should be locked up daily when in P.E. Students are required to provide a lock for their Physical Education Locker.

• Required PE Uniform - Each dress cut will result in a 10-point deduction from the Class Work Category and the student will receive a zero for the day in participation.  Required uniform = PE shirt, PE shorts, PE Sweats and tennis shoes.
