RULES FOR GYM ACTIVITY

A student's activity grade is based on the number of times he/she dresses out over the course of the grading period.The activity grade will constitute approximately one third (1/3) of a nine weeks grade. All students are responsible for receiving 30 points every day the class is in session. Students will receive these points by dressing out appropriately. Any student who does not dress out appropriately can have points deducted from their grade. The student will be verbally informed in the case of inappropriate dress. A student can only be excused from dressing out and participating because of sickness or injury only with a note from home and a telephone number where the parent can be reached. At the teachers discretion, the student will be assigned alternative work to make for those days he/she cannot participate. If the student chooses not to do the assigned alternative work than the student will receive a grade of “0” for that day. There is no penalty against a student for being absent. In the case of extended illness or injury students can be assigned alternative work for a grade.

STUDENTS WILL BE CHARGED AN ACTIVITY FEE.TO HELP PAY FOR EXPENSES THAT INCURR DURING THE YEAR.
