Grading System
Mr. Gomez
Physical Education

(Note: Physical Education = 3 marking periods or ¾ the yearly grade.)

Students will be graded according to the following criteria:

Attendance –Refer to the student handbook for regulations regarding absences.

Gym Procedure -You have 5 minutes at the beginning of the period to get changed and to be sitting in your assigned spot. Once the class has begun there is no talking. At the end of the class you will have 5 minutes to change and return to the gym. YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO LEAVE THE GYM AREA BEFORE THE BELL.

Dress Code – YOU MUST CHANGE IN THE LOCKER ROOM! ANYONE CAUGHT DRESSING OR UNDRESSING ANYWHERE ELSE WILL BE SUSPENDED! LOCK ALL YOUR VALUABLES IN THE LOCKER AND DO NOT SHARE YOUR LOCKER OR LOCKER COMBINATION. Remove your lock and belongings at the end of the period. All students must wear shorts, a T-shirt, white socks and sneakers. Sweats are also permitted. No pajamas! You must change for gym!

Late – Minus 3 points for each occurrence and P.M. detention.

Medically Excused –A doctor’s note must be presented to the teacher and then taken to the school nurse who will issue a special form in duplicate. One copy must be presented to the Athletic Director’s secretary and one copy is given to the physical education teacher. The student will then receive assignments from the teacher.

Written Assignments –Articles, Homework, Internet Assignments, Projects, Tests, Quizzes, Exams. BE NEAT!

Physical Education Articles –Find an article related to physical education. Cut it out or, if taken from the Internet, print it and summarize it. If taken from the Internet, give the website. All assignments must be submitted on the day scheduled. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Quizzes –Students may be required to take quizzes pertaining to the rules of the specific sport or skill taught.

Absent the day of an ANNOUNCED TEST or QUIZ –Written tests or quizzes must be made up the day you return to school at 7:00 A.M. Look for me in one of the physical education offices. Make-ups are not given during class time. NOTE: You are not permitted to make-up work or take tests for another class during this period!

Grade –50% of your grade is based on being prepared. If you are unprepared 5 times or more per marking period, you will fail. Each “unprepared” is 7.2 and even though an F is the lowest alphabetical grade you can receive, your numerical grade will be calculated and will affect your final grade. -50% is based on your participation. If you do not participate you will lose the same amount of points as being unprepared for class. “Non-participation” is determined by me or the substitute. Five or more “NPs” for the marking period is a failing grade. Students unprepared and/or not participating 5 or more times will fail for the marking period. Students unprepared and/or not participating 15 or more times will fail for the year.

Deficiency Notices –Students who are not working to ability will receive a deficiency notice, which must be acknowledged by his/her parent or guardian.
