Welcome to Middle School Physical Education!!
The following is information necessary for your success and comfort during the year.
Our goal is for all students to participate in all PE classes and enjoy being active. We expose students to a variety of activities with the hope everyone will be able to discover and enjoy personal favorites.
DRESS REQUIREMENTS: Sneakers, shorts, t-shirt, or jersey. This should be a change from clothing worn to school that day. For safety, clothes should be free of buttons, snaps, zippers, or loops. Sneakers need to be tied, and should not be platform or backless/slip-on. We will be spending at least half of our year outside so dress appropriately when the weather turns colder. Sweatshirts, sweatpants, and jackets are all acceptable. BE COMFORTABLE. We also recommend that you label all clothing with your name, that way we can return it to you if it gets left behind.
OPTIONAL NEEDS: deodorant, comb or brush, washcloth, towel. Showers are not available but there may be times you wish to wash before leaving.
SCHEDULE: Students have PE two or three times a week all year.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR AND REQUIREMENTS:
VIOLATIONS OF EXPECTED BEHAVIORS:
LOCKERS: All students can be issued lockers. If you would rather bring in your own lock, it must be cleared with your instructor first.

GRADING PROCEDURES: The following criteria will be use to determine the daily effort points:
