Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year. As you know, your child is enrolled in alternate day physical education class. Physical Education is part of the total education process. It provides opportunities for the physical, emotional, mental, and social growth of each child. The curriculum focuses upon individual, small group, and large group activities involving varied skills and social interactions. The Physical Education teacher emphasizes the following areas in reporting your child’s progress.

• Students will be based upon their effort, skill development and proficiency (work up to ability), teamwork, preparation and behavior. ( See Rubric )

• Attendance is taken at the start of each class.

• Each student is required to have proper attire for the day’s activities. This includes appropriate length shorts, t-shirts (no tank tops), socks, and sneakers.

• Failure to dress in the required manner will result in an unprepared for the day.

• Students that are unprepared for class will not be allowed to participate in that day’s activities. This includes after school activities for student athletes.

• Students excused from physical education must have a doctors’ note.

• To make up class and receive a participation grade the student will be required to do a sport report, or depending on the injury officiate or judge the class activity.

• Students are to report all injuries and accidents to the Physical Education teacher immediately. An injury may appear very minor at the time; however, it can develop into something more serious. All cases will be referred to the nurse.

•  Sneakers must be worn during Physical Education

• Special safety rules for each game and activity will be explained when taught.

• Shoelaces must be completely tied for each class.
