What is Health Education?
Health Education consists of improving your knowledge and awareness in the areas of physical fitness, nutrition, stress management, goal setting, decision making, drugs and alcohol, human sexuality and other related topics. The skills you build in this class will be a foundation for many life experiences in the future. I hope to teach you the knowledge on how to take the best possible care of your body and empower you with skills on how to put this knowledge into practice.

How will you be graded?
You will earn your grade through being prepared for class, your attitude/behavior, class participation, class work, homework assignments, and test/quizzes.
Homework:
Any homework assigned will be due the next day unless I tell you otherwise. I DO accept late homework. Late homework will lose 10% for every day it was late, this percentage will be taken off the final homework grade for that assignment. If you are missing any homework, it is YOUR responsibility to come to me for makeup work. Otherwise it will result in a 0 for a grade.
Rules and Discipline Procedures:
All school rules apply in my classroom. Please become familiar with these rules that are clearly stated in your agenda. I follow the standard late policy which is after your 4th late you will be written up. You may use the bathroom during my class. 1 person out at a time. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR AGENDA in order to use the bathroom.
What materials should I bring to class?
Please come prepared. It is a grade. Your easiest one. When homework is assigned, or when you are asked to bring a sheet back to the next class, please do so. You will always need the following materials:
• pencil or pen
• binder/notebook
• agenda
What if I miss a day of class?
If you are absent for any reason, please see me for any homework or missing information that may have been handed out or discussed during class. You will have the standard make-up time for any work that you missed. For example if you missed 2 days of school you will have 2 days to make it up. You are responsible for asking for any missed work. However, I am here to help, so please stop by to ask me any questions.
