Grading Breakdown
We are now grading on a points system
Class Participation = 100 points (minimum of 5 per quarter; will equal approximately 50% of grade)
Major Grades - Tests, Projects, and Activity Logs= 100 points per assignment (4 or 5 per quarter; will equal approximately 40% of grade)
Minor Grades - Classwork, Homework, Quizzes = 25 or 50 points per assignment ( approximately 10% of grade)
Activity Log: Students are responsible for completing activity hours outside the classroom.
Participation: Students are expected to participate in all Physical Education activities unless a medical situation prevents it. Being active is the center of this class, therefore not participating will result in a failing grade for that class period. Exceptions will be made if a parent note or doctor note is provided. Participation also is expected outside of class and a grade will be given for the quarterly participation log.
Test/ Quizzes: Tests will be given at the end of each unit. The tests will measure content knowledge on the unit. Skills tests may be given on activity units
Homework: Homework will not be given on a regular basis. Short assignments may be given.
Extra Credit: Extra credit will not be offered for this class.
Classroom Rules:
1. Students will handle equipment only when instructed to do so. This includes getting a ball out of the ball rack.
2. Treat the teacher and classmates with respect at all times.

Expectations
My expectations of each student are very high and I will not accept poor quality work or effort.
Students are expected to:

The teacher will be at school every day and there are ample opportunities for students to communicate before school, during lunch, or after school.
