5257800-22860000Pinecrest Glades Academy Physical Education SyllabusTeacher: Mr. Jorge RipollDear Students/Parents/Guardians: Welcome to the Pinecrest Glades Academy Fitness Education Department! The following is to inform you of our department’s rules and regulations. Please read over this entire packet, discuss it between yourselves, and sign this policy sheet on the last page. Our philosophy is to provide introductory as well as advanced skills to enhance successful participation in fitness education classes here at PGA. Our concern is fulfilling the basic needs of each individual in order to ensure a positive attitude toward physical activity and to promote life-time fitness interests. It is our intention to make this class both worthwhile and enjoyable for all students. With a good attitude and lots of effort, both mentally and physically, we will have a great time!I will be sending home grade reports that reflect their scores for the parents of 6th – 8th Grade students in the areas covered below that break down the student’s total grade each quarter. The students will be graded for each skill, fitness test result, & behavior in class. These points will add up to the total percentage and will reflect the grade according the grading rubric on the PE progress/report card. I hope this will help communicate the progress of your child in these specific areas of physical education. right508000If you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact me by phone at 305-229-6949 Ext 2121 or by email at jripoll@.

Furthermore, it is strongly recommended that all students use a combination lock to secure their items.?Reasons we use PE Uniforms!· PE uniforms promote pride and school spirit!· PE uniforms support safe and appropriate dress.· PE uniforms ensure that all students have a change of clothes for PE and can practice good hygiene.· PE uniforms allow us not to damage our school uniforms.Dress Code Rules1.

Participation is important for your child's success in this class, as well as his/her overall physical health and self-wellness, but if a child has an injury or sickness and needs to be held out of PE, it is important that the school knows. On another note, we will work together to find physical activities that keep students participating but accommodate for his/her physical needs and/or limitations. Thank you for your understanding & cooperation.*New – Parents, we have our new 100% non-participation policy that states that if a student brings in a signed note from a doctor or parent, the student will not be allowed to participate for the day. Instead, they will be expected to write a one-page paper/notes about the activity that is being learned that day. This helps the student keep engaged and up to speed on the skills being taught. It also holds the student accountable for learning those skills.**Look for updates and changes every month. I am working hard to make this syllabus the best source of information pertaining to our physical education class here at PGA.
