FAQFrequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Must I wear the Physical Education uniform? Yes, the Physical Education uniform, both the t-shirt and shorts plus athletic shoes and socks must be worn everyday to receive full uniform credit. If either the shorts or the t-shirt, or athletic shoes are not worn, then students will loose 10 points per offense off of their participation grade plus, per our PE Discipline Plan, there are consequences in addition to loosing points. Dressing Out is 25% of the students grade. If either the t-shirt or shorts are lost or stolen a new uniform may be purchased through the school office. What if something is stolen from my backpack during PE? Cupertino Middle School, and the PE Department are not responsible for lost or stolen articles. Please do not bring valuables to school. How can I earn extra credit in PE class? On many of the weekly runs a student may run extra laps above the requirement to earn extra credit. In addition, once per quarter a student may complete an Extra Credit Fitness Log to earn up to 10 extra credit points. Please look under the Extra Credit icon. How can I be excused from particiaption? If your child needs to be excused from Physical Education, please send a note with your child. Your note will be good for three days. All work missed must be made up. After three days, if your child still needs to be excused, you will need to send a doctor's note with your child. If a child becomes sick during the day and elects not to participate during class, a parent note excusing them brought the next day will avoid loss of participation points. How do I make-up a missed run? If you miss a run, either from being absent or choosing not to run during class, it is your responsibility to find out the run you missed and do it as homework. You must have your parent time you and sign the form downloadable from under the Make-Up Runs icon. Finally bring me the form so that I can give you credit for the run you missed. THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP RUNS SCHEDULED BEFORE SCHOOL OR DURING LUNCH. This is the ONLY way to make up a missed run. The only run which you can NOT make up is the PACER. This is because it is run to a pre-timed CD. To make-up the pacer run you will need to run it with another class and therefore have to make-up what you missed in my class the day you choose to run the Pacer with another class. Please look under the Make-up Runs icon. How do I make-up a missed Fitness day? Our Fitness days are generally on Wednesdays. If you are absent for a Fitness day you need to do a 20 minute sustained run and turn it in just like you would a make-up run (check under the Make-up Run icon for complete directions). It is your responsibility to check with me to make sure of what you missed on any Wednesday you are absent. |
