Students, in Grades 1-8, should be in their gym uniform for class. No jewelry (plastic, metal, or string) is to be worn for safety considerations. Sneaker laces should be tied not tucked. Consistent violations of the uniform policy or any uncooperative behavior(or any combination of both) might warrant a teacher-student (or parent) conference, phone call, or email.

Students may be excused from a uniform violation if a note is written and signed by a parent as long as the privilege is not abused. If your child has seen a doctor, a note from the physician is necessary explaining the illness or injury, time out of class, and when he/she can resume activity. If your child cannot participate for any reason, a note from you is necessary to excuse them from class. Please email me with any questions or concerns.  I will be happy to discuss them with you.

GRADING POLICIES
Students (Grades 4-8) will receive at least 3 grades each trimester. If a written assignment is given, it is usually due back the following P.E. class. Tests are infrequent but may be given. Students in grades 4-8 are given mandatory Archdiocesan Performance Assessments in PE usually during the third trimester.  Each assessment is worth one grade and is completed in school by the student.

GRADE EQUIVALENTS: Archdiocesan Criteria for P.E.
4=Exceeding: Student demonstrates complete understanding and high achievement of the P.E. standards.

3=Developing Appropriately: Student demonstrates a satisfactory understanding and adequate achievement of the P.E. standards

2=  Needs Improvement: Student demonstrates some understanding and minimal achievement of the P.E. standards.

1=  Unsatisfactory:  Student demonstrates little or no understanding and limited achievement of the P.E. standards.
 

Mission For The Class

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Research shows that good nutrition is linked to better behavior and academic performance. Being physically fit also keeps students at a healthy weight curtailing future health risks. 
 

Upholding the NAPSPE goals, I pledge to:

Establish a positive, safe learning environment for all students.

Teach a variety of physical activities that make physical education class fun and enjoyable;

Create maximum opportunities for students of all abilities to be successful.

Promote student honesty, integrity, and good sportsmanship;

Guide students toward becoming skillful and confident movers;

Facilitate the development and maintenance of physical fitness;

Assist students in setting and achieving personal goals;

Provide specific, constructive feedback to help students master motor skills;

 Afford opportunities for students to succeed in cooperative and competitive situations; and

Prepare and encourage students to practice skills and be active for a lifetime.
