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.
