JH PE Syllabus

August 18, 2009
JR. HIGH PHYSICAL EDUCATION - 2009-10
The following clothes are required: NOT THE CLOTHES YOU WEAR TO
SCHOOL!
- gym shorts and/or sweats
- t-shirt (must meet handbook guidelines) - tank tops are OK for PE
class as long as they are not too baggy and hang down below your
sports bra
- white socks (may have colored stripes)
- tennis shoes (may want an older pair for outside activities)
CLASS RULES:
You will have 4 minutes to dress from the time the tardy bell
rings. If you are not
dressed within these 4 minutes, you will be counted tardy and will
lose 1 point
for that day
NO chewing gum, PLEASE!
We will warm-up every day. These will be “instant activities” that
will be set up when you enter the gym. You did these in your
elementary PE classes, so you will be familiar with the
routine.
Showers will not be required, but I would recommend that you take
one, especially on days when we are extremely active and you are
sweaty. This needs to be done quickly so you are dressed and ready
to go to class when the bell rings. Feel free to bring a towel,
shampoo, deodorant and other personal hygiene items and keep them
in your locker.
After you are dressed at the end of class, you will wait in the
lockerroom until the bell rings.
You will required to dress every day unless you are told
differently. If you are not able to participate for some medical
reason, please bring a note from a parent, guardian or doctor.
You will be allowed one day of “no participation” each semester -
you will be given a zero for that day. Every other “no
participation” day after that will result in you being sent to the
cubes and then serving a 25-minute detention after school.
You will be issued a combination lock and a locker. You are
responsible for everything you put into that locker. Please keep
your valuables locked up! If you lose your lock you will be charged
a $5.00 replacement fee. You may choose to bring your own lock. If
it’s a lock with a key, please bring me a key to keep in my desk,
just in case you happen to forget yours.
Please keep your gym clothes clean.
I expect you to be considerate of each other in class. Foul
language, rude and disrespectful behavior may result in detention
and/or removal from class.
No one will be allowed to use the restroom during class, so please
take care of this before class starts!
Fridays will be “flexible” days, depending on the situation.
DAILY GRADING: Each day is worth 10 points.
1 point for being dressed and ready to go on time
2 points for having proper PE clothes
1 point for not chewing gum
1 point for good effort during warm-up
5 points for positive attitude and good effort in class
**Quiz grades and skill grades will also be figured into your
quarter grade.
These will vary from unit to unit.
7TH GRADE - Health will start after Labor Day. Health will meet 1
day/week and PE will be 4 days/week.
8TH GRADE - PE will meet every day of the week. Any health issues
that we deal with will be included in PE class.
