Mr. Hawkins
August 13, 2007
Gym Suit: (7th & 8th grade)- Students are expected to attend and suit out everyday in proper PE attire. If a students fails to suit out then they will lose (10 daily points). The proper gym suit includes: School issued: Dark blue shorts, white t-shirt. Students are responsible for providing white socks and tennis shoes. (must fit tightly enough that they don’t come off during physical activity!!!). The gym suit should be taken home and laundered once a week. If a student’s suit is “in the wash”, then it is acceptable to wear dark blue/black shorts and a white t-shirt (must have name on the back of the shirt) in place of their PE uniform. Sagging pants is against school policy and will be enforced in PE class. All students will wear their shorts around their waistline and tuck their shirts in.
Gym Suit: (6th grade)- Students are expected to dress in proper PE clothing on PE days. A uniform is not provided for them. Any colored shorts and a t-shirt is acceptable clothing. Tennis shoe must be worn in order to receive credit for dressing out. NO SKIRTS, SANDALS, OR CUTOFF T-SHIRTS!!
Jewelry: All students are expected to remove all jewelry, headbands, watches, friendship bracelets, necklaces, etc. during class. Failure to do this will result in a 10 pt. Deduction off of a student’s dress points.
Class Participation: Students are expected to dress out and participate everyday. If a student is injured/sick, a note from a parent/doctor is required in order for the student to participate. The students will receive 10 daily points for participation. Every student, regardless of ability, is expected to give all out effort and try to the best of their ability each and every day. Failure to do this will result in a deduction of their daily participation points.
Grading: Physical education grade will be graded in 5 areas: participation, dress, tardiness, behavior, and any written assignments given throughout the year. Each student will be given 20 daily points each day. If one of the above five requirements are not met, then a student will lose 10 points. Yes, it is possible to receive negative points for the day. Ex: If a student does not suit out (-10), does not participate (-10), and was tardy to class (-10) = then that student will actually lose (–30) daily points. PE grades will be calculated based on the following grading scale…
A= 90-100% B= 80-89% C= 70-79% D= 60-69% F= 59% and lower
