**SUSPENSIONS are not excuses to miss class work or to be given your points for not being here.
**If you are suspended you need to see me before or after you go on suspension to get make up work for the points that you will be missing while out. NO EXCUSES! If you are not here, your grade will go down, sorry.
* EXTRA Credit opportunities are available everyday by leading class in stretches. If you need points, be a leader. Also, every TUES and THURS when we go outside for fitness if you complete more than 1 mile (4 laps) you will be awarded 5 points extra credit for each additional lap completed after the required 4 laps.

HEALTH
All students are expected to be in their assigned seats when the bell rings. Everyday we will have a bell ringer on the board for students to complete. Bell Ringers will be collected every Friday worth a total of 25 points (5 points per day that we have class)! Students are expected to always be taking notes on all the different health topics that we discuss in class. Notes will be collected once a week or on Test Days to be graded. Each topic of Notes will be worth 50 points. I believe that comprehension should be an ongoing process and tests will be given after discussing each health topic weekly. Tests will be worth 50 to 80 points depending on the intensity, length, and information on the particular topic. Topics that will be covered over the 20 weeks that we are in health include: HEALTH & WELLNESS, NUTRITION, STRESS, SEXUAL ASSAULT/DATE RAPE, TOBACCO, ILLEGAL DRUGS/MEDICINE, ALCOHOL/DUI, STEROIDS, SEXUAL DECISION MAKING/CONTRACEPTIVES, HEALTHY/UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, STD'S/HIV/AIDS, CANCER & OTHER DISEASES, ETC...
*** Assessments will be administered to determine knowledge of subject matter at the end of each block. The point total average for two blocks will determine the student's grade for the quarter. The grade average for a quarter will be averaged with a second quarter grade average to determine semester grades.
