STOCKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Miss Wood

 

I appreciate the opportunity to teach physical education to your child, and would like to communicate to you the policies and procedures that will be followed in my classroom.                                                                                              

GRADING STANDARDS

Physical education is a co-educational program that meets once or twice a week for thirty minutes, depending upon your childŐs grade level.  All semester grades are comprised of evaluation in our five standards for physical education. 

     Standard 1:  The student demonstrates levels of competency and proficiency in various movement forms. 

     Standard 2:  Applies movement concepts and principles to the learning and development of motor skills.              Standard 3:  Exhibits and understands the benefits of participation in physical activity.         

     Standard 4:  Understands how to monitor and achieve a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.

     Standard 5:  Demonstrates an understanding of the importance of responsible personal and social behaviors. 

 

LEARNING EXPECTATIONS

DRESS POLICY:

1.      Tennis shoes must be worn to be able to participate in class. 

2.     Comfortable, safe clothing. (Girls should leave a pair of shorts or pants at school should they wear a dress on their physical education day) 

    3.   Consequences for not being prepared for class may include any or all of the following: a zero for the                                day and/or completion of a written report.  If a student is consistently unprepared for class, parents will be           contacted.

 

ATTENDANCE POLICY:

Since physical education is an activity based, participation class, any absences will result in a zero grade for that day.  Students may make up absences in two ways:

a.      Exercise at home and have a parent sign off on the activities completed.

b.    Complete a written report on a sport, athlete, or health issue.

 

MEDICAL EXCUSES:

  1. In order to be excused from activity due to illness/injury, a note from a parent/guardian must be given to the teacher at the start of class.  If the student becomes ill/injured during the day, he/she should tell the physical education teacher of the injury or illness, and work to the best of his/her ability.
  2. DoctorŐs excuses must be in writing.  After giving the teacher this note, the student will be required to complete other tasks (such as officiating or written work) to make up missed activity.  The student may not return to activity without a written release from the doctor.
