Days that are missed for any reason (injury, sickness, etc.) or points that are not earned in classcan be made up one of two ways. (if you have questions…SEE YOUR TEACHER) 1.A weekly make-up run will be offered during lunch for students for students to make up participation points and complete missing graded runs (This will take place during the FIRST and THIRD WEDNESDAY of each month) 2.A take home assignment may also be completed to make up missing participation (This needs to be completed within 2 weeks of the original absence) See your teacher or the Golden Valley PE website for the handout

Sportsmanship will be a large component of the physical education program at Golden Valley Negative language, being rude to peers or the teacher, or refusal to participate in a game or activity could all negatively impact a student’s grade Safety rules and protocol will be enforced throughout the year to keep all students as safe as possible DO NOT touch equipment unless instructed to by the teacher DO NO T participate in an activity until rules/safety have been discussed DO NOT misuse, vandalize, or break equipment Make your teacher aware of ANY injuries that occur

Each day a student will have the ability to earn 10 points Points may come from a variety of activities including: -Graded runs -Games/activities -Written work -Fitness Gram -Sportsmanship and overall participation GRADING SCALE %A 80-89%B 70-79%C 60-69%D 0-59%F

This year, all students will be completing written/classroom activities on a weekly basis. There will be a focus on literacy in PE…why are we doing what we are doing? The written portion of the class will comprise a large part of your grade. IT’S IMPORTANT. As such, every student will be asked to bring a spiral notebook to class. It will stay in your PE locker and come out on your classroom days.

Your grade from last semester and your first week this semester may qualify you for GRIZZLY PE!

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PE CLOTHES OR CANNOT AFFORD CLOTHES OR HAVE LOST YOUR CLOTHES, YOU MUST TALK TO YOUR PE TEACHER Starting next week, all students are expected to be dressed. If you have a plain grey/white shirt and dark shorts, THAT IS ACCEPTABLE. Asking for repeated loaners or choosing not to dress is UNACCEPTABLE.

This semester, we will also have the ability to add new periods of PE called Grizzly PE. Grizzly PE is for any student that received a D, F, or low C in PE last semester. Additionally, students may be added to Grizzly PE at the discretion of the teacher (did you not dress quite often last semester? Were you not involved in games/activities? Did you have a poor attitude?) Grizzly PE will follow a different format than other sections of PE – with the same grading scale – but it will NOT be as fun. Grizzly PE students will spend most days on the track or doing fitness activities…it’s our way of making sure you pass PE! You’re welcome.
