GRADING POLICY: Students grades are based on: Participation Effort Work Habits Citizenship

PARTICIPATION Your grade is based on participation in all class activities each day. You will be successful if you are motivated and have a positive attitude when asked to give your personal best effort. Points will be deducted if you do not dress out and participate (this does not include medical reasons).

EFFORT Based on teacher observation each day.

LOANER UNIFORMS You may borrow a loaner uniform for a limited time without losing grade points. Bring backpack into the PE teachers office and exchange for a loaner uniform. Teaching assistants will write your name down.

Work Habit Expectations We expect all students to participate in class each day using a separate set of appropriate PE clothes that is different from their school clothes. If you choose not to use a loaner uniform, you will not participate in activity and lose 6 points. You will do a written “On the Sidelines”assignment. This is called a non-suit. Must be wearing athletic (must have laces or velcro) shoes and socks

Uniform Options 2 options: 1.Purchase the South Lake uniform or 2. You can bring a separate pair of PE clothes (not your school clothes) T-Shirt: white or gray and write your name on the front using 2” letters with a permanent marker. Bring black or navy blue shorts to be kept in your locker.

COLD DAYS You may wear a sweatshirt and sweatpants on cold days. Your PE T-shirt must be underneath.

Uniform Check PE teachers will check for appropriate PE uniform daily after attendance.
