1.  
    BE ON TIME. 
   As soon as you are dressed for activity, report to the old gym area,
   right outside the locker rooms.  If you
   are not participating in the day’s activities see me immediately.   I will let you know as a class where we will
   be for the class,   as well as the objective for the lesson.
2.   
   Be appropriately dressed with shorts,
   t-shirt and sneakers. As long as the weather allows, we will be going outside
   for class.  Sunglasses are permitted when
   we are outside for class.  Sunscreen is
   encouraged too.  Girls tie your hair back
   and clip bangs out of your eyes.  All
   classes are co-educational so we will be conducting our class as a group.  Lock all items securely in a locker. Jewelry
   may be kept in my office which is always locked during class.  It is YOUR responsibility to pick it up at
   the end of class. (That includes cell phone and valuables)  We are not responsible for lost or stolen
   items.  You may choose to use an already
   school purchased lock or buy your own. 
3.    
   A rubric has been established which
   will be used to grade your daily activity. 
   You will be given a copy of the grading rubric the first day of
   class.  Your grade will be available to
   you and your parents on Sapphire.  This
   activity grade log will be updated every week, which allows you to keep track
   of missed classes, which can be made up by your scheduling the make-up time
   with me.  Classes can be made up during
   study halls and after school in the weight room.  Please see me prior to the class to get a
   pass.  No passes will be issued on the
   spot, immediately before class begins.
4.    
   The curriculum includes a wide range
   of activities.  I realize not all
   activities will be your favorite.  Please
   cooperate and participate to the best of your ability in each component of the
   curriculum.
5.   
   Class days will be on a 6 day
   rotation with days of the week for physical education back to back.  Example: 
   Days 1 & 2, Days 3 & 4, and Days 5 & 6 are scheduled
   together.  Your child’s day for physical education
   is ____ and _____, please take note. Your scheduled period for class is 5/6,
   which right before lunch, so I suggest you bring your lunch box (if you pack)
   to class so you can go immediately to the cafeteria.  Please make note of your schedule so you do
   not miss being prepared for a class.  If
   you find yourself not prepared for the day, I suggest borrowing appropriate
   clothing for the day.  YOU MUST change
   your clothes for class.  It is not
   acceptable to participate in class with your clothes for the school day.
6.    
    The 10 minute bell signals me it is time to
   conclude class.  Please do not exit the
   gym until you are dismissed from class. 
   THANKS!  Once you’re dressed you
   may go to the top of the steps.  Please
   do not disturb any other classes.  (This
   means no snack time until Mrs. Bodman opens her door.)
7.  
   Locker rooms will be open by 7:30
   a.m. each day.  Don’t find yourself late
   for class because you didn’t plan ahead. 
   I can’t stress to you the importance of using a locker and a lock to
   secure your items.

 

 

The objective of physical education
is to provide a variety of activities so students may choose one that will
interest them and strive to keep them physically active for the rest of their
lives.  You can find a copy of this
letter and grading rubric on my Moodle page and SCA website.

 

 

Please sign the form below to
acknowledge you have the read the information and seen the grading rubric and
return the next day.  Please feel free to
contact me with questions or individual student concerns.  I look forward to working with your child
this year.
