According to the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE), physical activity is critical to the development and maintenance of good health.

CLASS RULES & PROCEDURES

1. Students have FIVE minutes to change and use the restroom prior to the start of class. When students are dressed/ready for class they will come out to the gymnasium and line up alphabetically on the end line of the gymnasium on the girls’ locker room side.

2. Tardiness (coming in after the late bell rings) will not be accepted. One tardy will result in a warning. Second tardy will result in loss of 10 participation points for the day. Third tardy will be a loss of 20 points and a write up.

3. The warm-up for class will be provided for each class. The warm-up will consist of cardio, agility, and endurance skills.

4. Restrooms should be used prior to reporting to the gym.

5. Students are not to engage in horseplay of any kind while in the gym, locker room, or shower area.

6. No student will be excused from PE without a doctor’s excuse that includes restrictions.

PARENT NOTES ARE NOT ACCEPTED.

7. At the end of class, the students will be dismissed back to the locker room to shower and dress (if you leave before being dismissed it will result in a 20-point loss from your daily participation grade). If a student requires extra time other than the time already allotted (for showering, physical accommodations [with documentation], etc.) by the teacher they should see the teacher to make necessary arrangements. Tardiness to the next class following PE is not acceptable.

8. Students must remain INSIDE the gymnasium until the bell rings. Students are NOT permitted to be hanging outside the gymnasium doors into the hallways or opening and closing the gymnasium doors.

9. You will have 6 sick days per semester (3 per quarter) (quarter classes only have 2 Sick Days) you will be permitted to use if you are not feeling well and cannot/do not want to participate in class. If you use all 3 days in the 1st quarter you will NOT be permitted to use the days from the 2nd quarter. Nor will you be permitted if you do not use all 3 days in the 1st quarter to carry them over to the 2nd quarter; Use ‘em or lose ‘em!

10. All absences will need to be made up except days missed for college visits ONLY. A zero will be placed in the grade book immediately and will remain there until you make up the missed class. Make-ups can be done one of 2 ways: (1) If you participate in an organized sport you are more than welcome to use a practice session as a substitute with a PE Make-Up form obtained from Mrs. Eggler and you and your coach are to fill out (you can complete a maximum of 2 forms in one quarter). (2) There will be a sign-up sheet on the girls’ locker room door for Club Period on Thursdays of every week beginning on the 2nd Thursday of the quarter. That will be the ONLY make-up day. Make-ups consist of a maximum of 12 minutes of cardio, agility, and endurance skills. Seniors are the only grade that will be allowed to walk for the duration of the time designated for the make-up (or medically excused students or anyone requiring accommodations with the proper documentation). If you don’t make up the missed classes before the ending of the make-up period (usually 2-3 days before the quarter ends) zeroes for those classes you missed will remain and be averaged into the final quarter grade. All the options for make-ups are only for classes missed, not classes a student chooses to sit out because they do not wish to take PE, which is the purpose of the Sick Days. If you choose to not dress or participate in class, you will receive a 0% for that day that can NOT be made up. If you accumulate 3 of these zeros, there will be write-up handed into the principals and action is taken from there and every 3 zeros after that this will be repeat.

11. If you are injured, become ill, or experience any type of problem (missing items/bullying) during the course of PE class, please report it to Mrs. Eggler or Mr. Woodford IMMEDIATELY!

12. If you would like to complete an extra assignment, you will need to see Ms. Beach for the assignment. You will be limited to 10 extra credit assignments. You can NOT complete more than that pending special circumstances.

13. Students are responsible for their own valuables. If students do not have a lock or feel comfortable placing their valuable items in their lockers, they may ask Mrs. Eggler to leave their valuables locked in her locked office.

14. (Pertaining to the ladies ONLY) In the locker room, body sprays and perfumes will be kept to a minimum inside the locker room. (Several students spray in each class and that accumulates an immense amount of fragrance in the air.) TWO SPRAYS are sufficient adjacent to using deodorant. If this procedure is abused, body sprays and perfumes will be eliminated permanently from the locker room.

15. Cell phones are not tolerated. Do not bring them to PE class. Otherwise if they are brought to class, disciplinary action will then take place.

16. Student compliance is imperative in creating and maintaining an effective and efficient learning environment.  To accomplish this goal a 4 step assertive discipline policy will be implemented. The following actions will be carried out for student misconduct:

Warning

Lose 5-10 points for the class

Zero for class

Write Up / Call Home

Consistent discipline problems may result in immediate loss of points or write up. Safety issues or disrespect to teacher may result in immediate write up.

17. Non-Sick Days

Non-Sick Days are days that you will not be permitted to use a Sick Day. If you choose to sit out that day, you will receive a 0% and will not be permitted to make it up. There will be 2-3 of these type days through out each quarter. You will be given advance notice that you will have one.
