P.E. Suits

Students are required to wear an acceptable P.E. suit during class activities: Reversible (red and white) T-shirt or fitness shirt. o Red gym shorts o White athletic socks high enough to clearly show above the shoe. o Gym or court shoes worn in P.E. only.

Identification must be on the outside of both the shirt and the shorts.

Uniforms are to be laundered weekly. Take them home on Friday (or the last day of the week) and return with them on Monday (or the first day of the new week).

Each student will suit up each day for P.E. unless excused by the teacher.

Spandex shorts are allowed under regular gym shorts.

Extra shorts and/or shirts may not be worn/visable under P.E. suit.

Leggings and long sleeves are a good idea for certain cold-weather activities; however, they are to be worn under the regular P.E. suit and only with the approval of the teacher.

Jewelry of all kinds should be removed before class and left in your locker.

If a student is without his/her P.E. suit, a loaner suit will be issued for use during that class period. This, however, will be recorded as a "suit cut". Failing to remember your P.E. suit will be considered a simple lack of responsibility on the part of the student and will have a negative impact on his/her grade.

Attendance Policies

Students must be in class and participating at least 80% of any grading period in order to receive credit.

Students will be in the locker room when the bell to begin class rings and in roll call positions, fully clothed in an acceptable uniform and ready to participate, two minutes later.

It is the responsibility of the student to clear all health problems that might limit his/her participation with the teacher before class begins.

On rare occasions, a student may find it necessary to be excused from P.E. because of a medical reason. Students in this situation will bring with them to class a note from a parent or guardian explaining the nature of the problem and detailing which of the class activities the student will need to avoid that day. These parent notes are good for only one day at a time, no more than three will be accepted for any one reason and they should be submitted to the teacher before class begins.

Students are allowed 3 notes per semester. Students who bring in more than 3 notes will be required to make up the work missed or receive a zero for each day.

Absences from class that extend beyond three days, or permanent excuses from P.E. will require a note from a physician in order for them to be excused.

Students who are excused from PE will be provided a "study hall" until they are able to return to activity.

Upon returning to class after an absence, students will bring with them an "admit slip" from the attendance office.

Grading Policy

Students are graded on the following factors:

Calisthenics (25%) Preparation for class - Being in uniform and on time to class. Actively participating in cals. Quality of work during cals.

Aerobic Workouts (25%) Actively participating in aerobic activity. Quality of work during aerobic activity.

Written Work (25%) Fitness Journal Goal Setting Activities.Written assignments / tests

Unit Participation (25%) Positive attitude and sportsmanship.

Attitude and effort is included in all grading categories.

 

Aerobic Workouts

Students at Kilo will be involved in a program that is designed to promote aerobic fitness. A large part of this program will include distance runs that will progress to, but not be limited to, one mile. These runs are not optional and are to be considered part of our normal curriculum. Mondays are considered "Program Aerobic Days". All classes will participate in a large group, extended aerobic activity.

P.E. Make-ups

The first three excused absences in each six-week grading period will be considered "freebies". These absences will not need to be made-up and they will not have any negative impact on the student's grade. "Freebies" do not carry over into the next grading period. Any absences exceeding three in a particular grading period, and ALL UNEXCUSED ABSENCES must be made-up in order for the student to receive credit for that day. P.E. make-ups will be arranged by each individual teacher. Possible times for make-ups could include before school, after school, or during advisory period. Students may do make-ups prior to an anticipated absence.

Safety Factors

"Character is what you do when you think no one else is watching."

Your safety and that of your classmates is the issue of greatest importance to those in charge. Horseplay of any kind will not be tolerated. Know the safety rules and procedures for each of our activities and follow them. Look out for each other's well being. Report any accidents to the teacher immediately. Do not administer first-aid yourself - get immediate help from the teacher. No gum, food, or drinks are allowed in the gym at any time. No running or throwing objects in the locker rooms.

Baskets and Locks

Baskets and locks are furnished free of charge to each student. Therefore, students should not bring their own locks for use in the locker room. Be sure all valuables are locked in your locker during class time. If a lock is lost, the student must pay for its replacement before a new one can be issued. Do not share the combination to your lock with anyone.

Lost and Found

Any articles lost should be reported to the teacher immediately. Turn in any found articles to the teacher immediately.

Classroom Behavior "In this class, the kind of athlete you are is not as important as the kind of person you are."

Students here are expected to observe a reasonable code of conduct, which will involve elements of respect and fair play. Each person in this class will be treated with respect no matter what his/her abilities may be. We do not ridicule one another. Our activities are for fun and for learning - no arguments, no fights. Each person will be given an equal opportunity to participate. No one will commit any act, which is intended to injure another. The use of profanity, or any other form of disrespect, will not be tolerated. Listen to instructions given by the teacher and P.E. aides and follow directions. You are expected to give your best at all times during class activities. Good attitudes and hard work are the roads to success in this class. Any student who, at any time, threatens or attempts to intimidate a student aide will be dealt with as if that threat had been made toward the teacher. Students will leave the gym only when given permission to do so. Cheating is considered poor sportsmanship and is not responsible behavior for the classroom. It will not be tolerated. At times, a substitute may be present in the classroom. All expectations for you will remain the same. Be helpful and courteous, as this person is a guest in our classroom.

Miscellaneous

Street shoes are not to be worn on the gym floor. Although the door may be open, the locker room is off limits during class time unless you are given specific permission to be there. Students who elect to bring their own deodorants should bring only the stick or roll-on type. No aerosol cans please. Any items not needed for P.E. (combs, jewelry, cosmetics) are to be left in the locker room. School property and that of other people should not be defaced, written on, or destroyed. The class will be dismissed by the instructor or his/her aide. The bell is simply a reminder.

Rules for Success

1. Hustle everywhere you go.

2. Do everything you are asked to do with the proper attitude.

3.Be polite.
