If a student misses 9 weeks or more weeks they must complete 20 study hall assignments to receive credit for the class. The student will not receive a grade, only credit for the class. It will appear as an M on their report card for medical.
If the student misses less than 9 weeks their grade will be a combination of their grade in the class, and their grade for the 20 or fewer study hall assignments. Their report card will show their grade.
Grading Policy:
70 percent = Participation

20 percent = Knowledge
Quizzes and/or Tests
10 percent = Skills
Skills Tests

- If students are absent, they have the option to make up the day by writing a 1-page paper on a fitness/health topic of their choice
- If students choose to not write a paper in place of their absence, the weekly grade will be based on their average score for the week
- Students will have 1 week after the grading week to turn in papers for any day they were absent
- Students cannot turn in papers to replace participation grade for days they are present
Miscellaneous….
- If absent on the day of a written test or skills test, it is the student’s responsibility to make up the test before school, after school, or during learning lab. The grade will be posted as a 0 in the gradebook until it has been made up.
- If a student has any health concerns related to fitness or exercising, the teacher should be notified. (e.g. asthma)

- Before/after class time students must stay in the locker room. No waiting in the hallway or gym. No early departure!
- Physical Education and Athletic Training is worth the same amount of credit towards a student’s GPA as any other class; therefore it is important that we test in a variety of ways, just as other classes would.
