JH PE Syllabus
by Carol Braun on August 18, 2009
JR. HIGH PHYSICAL EDUCATION - 2010-11
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 given a written activity assignment to be completed during class that day to earn your points. If you choose to not participate in class, you will be sent to the cubes with a written assignment and a 15-minute detention to be served at the end of that day.
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.
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
