Syllabus for High School PE I
Welcome back to school. My name is Mr. Emerson.
Course Description: In PE I you will learn a variety of games and activities designed to improve your level of fitness. These activities will also help you learn about teamwork, communication, and good sportsmanship. This class will give you the tools to stay physically fit for life. This class will prepare you for PE II.
Class Expectations:
You must be dressed properly and ready for class four minutes after the tardy bell rings. You will need a separate change of clothes. Please keep these clothes clean. Proper clothing includes gym shorts or sweats, t-shirt, pair of socks, and a pair of shoes.
No candy or gum in class.
You may take a shower if you choose, but you still need to be dressed and on time to your next class.
At the conclusion of class, you will wait in the gym until the bell rings for your next class. Do not leave the gym. If you need to get a drink or go to the bathroom take care of that in the locker room.
You are expected to be on time, prepared, and come with a positive attitude. Rude and Disrespectful behavior such as inappropriate language and fighting WILL affect your grade. Being prepared means when class starts you are ready to begin. Things such as using the bathroom and getting a drink need to be taken care of before class starts.
