Physical Education grade 7 and 8

PALMYRA-EAGLE MIDDLE SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION POLICIES & PROCEDURES
GRADINGEach student’s Physical Education grade will be based on the total number of points that they earn each grading period.
The Physical Education Grading Point System is as follows:Each student has the opportunity to earn daily points. The points can be earned by being prepared for class (changing into athletic/activity clothes) and giving maximum effort during class. Being healthy and active is the main focus. Limited effort will result in a lowered grade and lower levels of health. The total points earned will be converted to a letter grade.
CLASSESThe Palmyra-Eagle Middle School students will receive Physical Education every other day for the entire school year.LOCKERS and LOCKSEach student will receive a locker and a lock. It is important to keep the locks locked at all times. Although we supervise the entire area, the school is not responsible if items are taken. Also, keep the lock combination confidential. If others happen to learn it, notify the teacher and another lock will be issued. A $5 fee will be assessed if the lock is not turned in at the end of the year.

UNPREPARED POLICY It is very important that each student come prepared to Physical Education. We look forward to being active and having fun, but not being prepared will limit the amount a student can safely accomplish.
MAKE UP DAYS
Students are allowed 1 no-change day and 3 absent days per quarter. When those numbers are exceeded the students will need to make up the day by performing 20 minutes of activity or their grade will be affected. Make up sheets are available with the PE teachers.
DRESS CODE All students must follow the school dress code and wear clothing appropriate for physical activity. Elastic waist shorts or pants, a t-shirt or sweatshirt, and sneakers are acceptable attire for class. Students who wear clothing that is too reveling will be asked to change into something that is more appropriate. Sneakers should have non-marking soles and must be tied tightly at all times. Since we live in Wisconsin we know the weather can change. Students are encouraged to always be prepared with clothing for outdoor activity as well.JEWELRY POLICY No jewelry will be allowed in physical education classes. Students should lock these items in their locker during class!!PARENT & MEDICAL EXCUSES A note from a parent/guardian excusing a student from class due to minor injury or illness will be accepted for two class periods. If the illness or injury necessitates a longer period of rest, a note from a doctor should be provided. If a student can participate in certain activities but not in others please include that in the note.
