endurance, flexibility and body composition), knowledge and understanding of physical and social skills, and the relationship
of exercise to personal well being. In addition it is our goal to develop an attitude and appreciation that will encourage a

GRADING: High School Physical Education is a one semester course and is required for graduation. Each class period will be
worth 5 points. You will receive the 5 points for full participation. In short points may be deducted for the following reason(s). A
more detailed list is posted in the gym and online at our website: Vikespe.Weebly.com
*Tardiness, improper/no dress, violation of safety procedures, non-school related absence, partial/no participation,
incomplete/late homework assignments, a lack of effort and poor citizenship.
A ND/NP (sitting out) shows a degree of insubordinate behavior and will result in a progressive deduction of grade per
incident. It is our expectation for students to fully participate on a daily basis. During this nd/np class period the student may be
asked to complete paperwork which will be sent home for a parent signature. The paperwork is expected to be returned the next
day the student is in class for half of the points lost. Students will be given opportunities to help their grade by scheduling extra
activity time with their teacher (before or after school). Students can earn up to 5 points for the ND/NP incident, providing student
has performed to the teachers specifications. All points must be made up before the last day of each marking period.
ATTENDANCE: Students will receive a zero for all non school related absences. Students are given the opportunity to make
up points lost because of attendance. Students will prearrange a time with their teacher to earn back some of those points lost
by engaging in physical activities they may have missed. All points must be made up by the last day of each marking period. It
is the students responsibility to arrange the time with the teacher.
DO YOUR BEST, BE RESPONSIBLE, BE RESPECTFUL TO ALL AND HAVE FUN!!!
