Grading:
     1. Dressing=25% 2. Participation 75%

     Dressing: Students must be dressed in full uniform to get credit for
     that day. If the student is missing any part of the uniform, they
     will get a zero for that day. A student may borrow a clean P.E.
     uniform for the day if they are missing theirs. 5 points possible.

     Participation: students must participate in whatever activity we are
     doing that day. There are 10 points possible each day.  Each day, 
     students will be required to participate in fitness conditioning or 
     fitness testing.  Students will lose 3 points each day they don't 
     participate in conditioning.  Students will lose 5 points if they are 
     sitting down when they should be participating in an activity.

     Writing Assignments:  There will be 3 or 4 writing assignments per
     quarter.  The writing assignments will be on Fridays and due on the 
     following Monday.  If a writing assignment is turned in late you will 
     only recieve half credit.  If absent for a writing assignment, you 
     can make up the writing assignment according to the school homework
     policy.

     Fitness Testing:  Students will be graded on their improvement of 
     physical fitness tests.  Any student who improves on their time or 
     score will receive full credit.  Those who do not improve on their 
     fitness tests will lose points from their grade depending how far 
     away they are from meeting their own personal marks.

Citizenship Grades:
     Citizenship grades will be determined according to the school policy
     found in the student handbook and agenda planner.  Any student who 
     remains in the locker room during class will be counted as an 
     unexcused absence and will recieve a "1" in citizenship.

I will up date the grades each Friday for the week that was just
completed. If you have any questions you can contact me by email or by
calling the school.

     me know. It is very important that I am aware of any limitations that
     you may have for participation. I will do whatever I can to accomadate
