Students earn points daily toward their unit grades by: - being on time and in correct attire - active participation during the entire class period - demonstrating good sportsmanship and respect toward others in the class.

TARDIES

Tardies will result in detention as well as adversely effect the student's grade.  The locker room doors are locked 8 minutes after the late bell rings.  Students will not be allowed in the locker room after this time.

MEDICAL EXCUSES

Parents may excuse you from participating up to three times per semester by writing the instructor a note stipulating the number of days (up to three). You are still required to dress out unless otherwise specified in the note or at teacher's discretion.  Students with written doctors excuses will still be required to complete a P.E curriculum designed specifically for individual needs.
