Students entering in grades 7 and 8 will be using the girls and boys locker rooms located in the gymnasium. Each student will be assigned his/her own locker with combination to store PE attire.

Less than 50% participation will result in an incomplete (I) requiring the student to arrange with his/her instructor for making up necessary time in order to receive a grade.

Homework:

Homework grades will be determined by completing and handing in homework assignments on time (late work will be accepted with penalty of reduced points).

Sportsmanship/Behavior:

At the midpoint and conclusion of each quarter, students will be graded on their sportsmanship/behavior. The teacher will observe and assess certain traits such as listening skills, following direction, fairness, respect, and others the instructors deem appropriate.

Skills:

Skills checklists, and performance objectives will be used to grade the students understanding of many skills. A skill grade will not be determined by comparison to other students, rather by improvement from start to finish of each unit.
