  • Failure to dress out, not follow directions, unsafe behavior, disrespect to instructor / other classmates, etc. can result in removal from the physical conditioning class. 
  • All students are expected to stay with the class, not wandering the halls outside the weight room, small gym, or outside in the parking lot.  Being on task in the weight room is imperative to receiving beneficial weight training. BRING WATER BOTTLE FOR CLASS!!!

**** Your child has been instructed on every lift they are participating in, required to have a spotter, and always use clips in the weight room. If need be, please speak to your child about what is not an appropriate amount of weight they should attempt to be lifting.

KMHS PE DEPARTMENT
 INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY GRADING STATEMENT
The KMHS Physical Education Department deeply believes that helping students better understand their Individual Responsibility within the Physical Education setting is a vital part of our mission.  Therefore, students will be graded accordingly on their ability to follow directions, arrive to class on time and be dressed for activity, be in the appropriate location, and following all rules and regulations as set forth by their teacher.  A student’s inability to live up to our Individual Responsibility Standards will result in a reduction or total loss of Dress/Participation points for that day.      


Dressing Out:    Proper attire is required for class. Students MUST wear activity shoes, socks, T-shirt, and shorts.  (Shirt and shorts must be different than what was worn to school that day and must follow the school dress code policy.)  Students must dress out for class every day and participate.  Each week you earn 100 points for a Daily Training Grade 20 a day. Failure to dress out or participate will result in a deduction of points from that grade. A doctor’s note will be the only acceptable excuse for not dressing out and non-participation.  In these cases, an alternative written assignment will be given. 

Each student will be given the first 10 minutes at the beginning of class to dress out and 10-15 minutes at the end of class to dress in.  Activity classes will vary throughout the week.  Each week could be different due to the weather, activity space, etc.

The locker room will be available for you to lock up your belongings if you choose to. You will need to provide your own lock. You will be allowed to bring your book bag to the gym. I will lock all back packs and book bags in the equipment room.

                             *You cannot make-up your grade for a “No Dress.” *

Running Program:

Each week on Thursdays students will run for the assigned time without stopping to pass test
If a student is unable to complete the time assigned for test they will be given 2 more attempts the following week to complete the test.
All students are encouraged to do their best and work during the week to build up endurance to be able to stay on track with the testing.
If a student has a medical reason for not running they must bring in a note from a doctor to be exempt from these test. Students with medical issues will be given alternative assignments to make up for this area of the class.

·       The first week starts out at 5 minutes and goes up by 2 every Thursday.

Movies:              There will be two movies shown in class; Supersize Me and 8th grade.

Valuables:          You are responsible for your valuables. (Please keep up with them, lock them up or                              don’t bring them at all)


Cellphones:        Students shall not use, display or turn on cellular phones, video phones, or electronic devices during instruction time except when a teacher uses these devices for instructional purposes or gives permission.  The consequences for inappropriate cell phone use are:
1st offense – Teacher warning
2nd offense – Parent notice
3rd offense – Administrative referral

Remember:       Personal Fitness is required to graduate. If you do not pass you will have to take the class again.
