Excused/Sick Policy A note from home by a parent or guardian excusing participation will be honored for 2 classes; thereafter a doctor’s note will be required. Credit for the class will be based on an in–class assignment. This type of non-participation will not impact grades if in-class assignment is completed and turned in.

Excused/Sick Policy Grades Students who are not present in class can not earn their daily points. To earn their points for PE classes missed a student MUST turn in a make up assignment. Make-up assignments are found under the PE department page under classrooms on the KMS website. There are 4 assignments to chose from. 1 completed and turned in assignment counts for 1 or 2 days of absences. If a student is absent more than 8 days please contact their PE teacher and we will give them a long term make up assignment 1 -2 days absent = 1 assignment, 3 -4 days absent = 2 assignments, 5 -6 days absent = 3 assignments, 7 -8 days absent = 4 assignments

Grading Students will receive grades based on skill/concept assessments, readiness for class/activity, participation, and respect for others. Throughout the week students are expected to earn ten points per day that will go into a weekly readiness assessment grade. The readiness assessment point breakdown is as follows: 1 point for proper footwear/tennis shoes (boots, open/closed toe sandals, wedges, heels, flip flops, dress shoes, flats are not considered proper footwear) 2 points for wearing pe uniform shirt, 2 points for wearing pe uniform shorts, 2 points for participating in dynamic warm-ups 3 points for participating and completing the activity for today. In addition to receiving a daily readiness assessment grade students will receive a 5 point daily activity grade that will not be weighted as an assessment grade, but a participation grade. At the end of every unit students will be given either a skill based or written assessment that correlates with content taught throughout that unit.
