Southwest Onslow High School Advanced Physical Education / Weightlifting

Expectations: It is our goal that all students improve their level of physical fitness and become stronger physically and mentally throughout the semester.

Dress for Class: All students are expected to dress appropriately for weight lifting class. Dress requirements are athletic attire and athletic shoes. A change of clothes is essential for this class. You are expected to wear shorts, an acceptable tee-shirt (no tank tops) and gym shoes. See the student handbook for specific dress requirements.

Lockers/Locker Rooms: Each student will be assigned a gym locker to keep his/her clothes and necessities for physical education. It is the responsibility of the students to bring and use a lock to secure their property in their assigned locker/locker room. Students should not share lockers, nor use a locker that is not assigned to them. Items left unsecured in their locker room will not be the responsibility of SWHS. Students must remove their personal locks and their items at the end of each grading period. Large amounts of money and valuables such as jewelry, watches, and etc. should not be left in the locker room. Anytime a student must bring valuables; they should give them to a gym teacher to secure in his/her office during the class period. Students are not allowed to eat food, chew gum, or take drinks in the locker rooms or weight room.

Absentee Work: Students are required to turn in a 1-page (on a fitness/sports topic) after their 2nd absence in a grading period. This paper is in lieu of the daily activities done during the day of the absence and will be worth a daily grade. It is due with 2 days of the absence.

Grading Policy : Each student will begin each six weeks period with a participation grade of 100. Thereafter, points will be deducted for lack of effort, participation, and notebook entries. Semester Grades will be given each grading period as follows:

Participation: 80 % (70% with 1 Rep Max) Notebook (provided) entries : 20%

Daily Deductions from Grades may fall as follows: Not appropriately dressed for class -5 points Not participating -5 points / each 15 minutes Students refusing to participate during class -20 points Students will also be graded on their improvement throughout the semester. A strength test will be given at the beginning of the semester. Then each 8 weeks, the students will be tested for strength gain in the following lifts: Squat, Power Clean, Bench Press, and Dead Lift.

Class Policies and Procedures : All students are expected to do the following:

1. Do your best - participate in class activities 2. Come to class prepared and on time (must be by weight room door when tardy bell rings). 3. Respect yourself, others and school property 4. Follow all school rules. 5. Be responsible for yourself.

Absentee Policy/Make days Students must be present 84 of 90 days a semester in order to pass each subject. During my coaching seasons, students may stay with me after school at practice or home games in order to make up days missed. This is in addition to the school-wide make up dates. This extra opportunity ends once my seasons are finished. See the student handbook for the list of school- wide make-up dates.

Exam Exemption : All students have the opportunity to be exam exempt this year in all non-EOC courses. To be exempt a student must have an average of 93 or above or have not missed more than two days of a class period. These two days must be documented and meet certain criteria. See the handbook for specific information. (Excused Absences)

Final Exam : The final exam is equal to one six weeks grading period (25% of the final grade). The final exam will consists of a Bench Test.
