Petaluma Junior High

Mrs. McGaughey

 

Welcome back, we made it!!! 1 semester down and 1 more to go!!! Great job during finals and good luck during your Spring semester. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of class expectations and grading policies for class.

 

Grading Policy: Each student will be evaluated in the following categories:

·         Participation and Effort

Giving your best effort daily and demonstrating a willingness to try new things.

·         Social Skills

Demonstrating important life-skills such as cooperation, respect, responsibility, and teamwork.

·         Performance

Demonstration of physical skills, the understanding of the skills, rules, strategies, concepts, and the completion of assigned tasks and activities.

·         Written Work

The completion of all written classroom assignments as they are given which are to be kept in their binder.

 

Daily Points: Each class day is worth 14 points which is broken down into the following:

                Responsibility                                                      4 points

                Warm Up                                                               2 points

                Cardio effort                                                          4 points

                Class Activity Participation                               4 points

 

Most Common Ways to Lose Points:

-          Non-dress (includes wearing the wrong sweats or other clothes over/under your PE clothes)

-          Not having your PE notebook or pen/pencil when required

-          Not following the class or activity rules

-          PE shirt not tucked in

-          Wearing non-athletic shoes or not tying your shoe laces tightly

-          Disrespectful to others in class

-          Not making up absences

-          Walking your warm-ups when you’re supposed to be jogging/running (especially if due to socializing)

-          Poor participation in the class activity

-          Missing or late homework assignments

-          Not participating in stretches and/or exercises

 

Note:       Remember that if you are sent out or asked to sit out of class, you not only lose responsibility points, but also lose participation points at the same time.

 

Medical Excuses:     When a student is sick/injured, he/she needs to bring a note from a parent or a doctor that specifies their limitations. A parent note is good for 2 days only. After that a doctor’s note is required.

 

Make-ups:                                               Check www.pjhspe.com for make up schedule

-          Tues.  afternoons from 3:00 -3:30

-          Wed/Thurs  mornings from 7:45 – 8:15

                                                       Fridays at Lunch 12:15 -12:45
