Objective: Physical Education is an integral part of the total education process. Our program relates to lifetime activities, which can be carried over into their adult life and assist the further development physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. We believe our program will challenge each student to reach his/her highest potential and allow opportunities for success and enjoyment.

You are responsible for the lock and locker you are assigned.  If a student loses their lock and it is not in the lost and found, they will need to pay a lost lock fee ($5) AT THE BOOKSTORE and will be issued a new lock.  Combinations must be kept confidential. The physical education office will not open or give out any combination except to the owner of the locker.  Lockers cannot be used to store textbooks, notebooks, etc., except during your scheduled PE class time.  Big lockers are to be used during PE time only. Items left in big lockers will be removed at the end of the day.  LOCK your lockers and your valuables in them!!! Failure to do so may result in theft. It is VERY important that each student lock their belongings every class period! It is also VERY important that students do not walk away from their belongings while they use the restroom, or etc. We do have incidences of theft and the only way we can help is by reinforcing the use of the locks in the correct manner, and the diligent act of keeping your belongings in your sight and possession when they are unlocked.  Student Initial: ______Parent/Guardian Initial: ______Grading and Course Assignments: All students will have the opportunity to EARN an “A.” The students’ grades will be based on:  Participation – 50 points/week o Students will earn a total of 50 points per week for participation. 10 points will be awarded each day for ACTIVELY participating in class with a good attitude. 20 points will be given on block days.

The student may pick one up or print it out and turn it in for full credit one week after the absence. The student will receive full participation points if the assignment is done correctly.  Make up work can only be turned in to your PE teacher.  If an assignment or a quiz was assigned prior to an absence, the student is still responsible for turning in work or taking quiz on the assigned date.  If the assignment or quiz was given during an absence, the student has one week from the day they return to turn in the assignment or take the quiz.  Again, IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ARRANGE FOR ANY MAKE UPS.  If the student has questions regarding make-up work, etc., please do so at end of class or during class breaks.

Remember we live in Arizona and it is hot! We are mindful of that, but we are limited with space and may be required to go outside when the temperature is hot. Please stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and be mindful of what you are eating/drinking in order to be able to participate fully during class.

The main goal of Physical Education is to get you (students) active and teach you how to carry that over into your everyday life now, and in the future. I expect everyone to try her best and have a good attitude. We will try many different sports and fitness activities in class, some you may enjoy and some you may not, but having a good attitude will go a long way in making the experience more enjoyable. So let’s all work together to make this a great year and a great experience for everyone! Girls Physical Education Syllabus PE
