PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Course Description:  In physical education, students will actively participate in a vast array of activities ranging from team sports, individual sports and cooperative games.  Students will be working to better their fitness levels while learning lifelong activities that they can continue to use throughout their life.

Grading:  Students will be given an individual participation grade for each class.  This daily average will represent 80% of the overall grade for the quarter.  An additional 10% will be comprised of the students attendance.  The final 10% will be from each students teacher evaluation (TE).  TE will be determined through the students preparedness for class, ability to work with others, safety considerations, behavior and overall attitude.

Piercing Policy:  Any type of piercing will not be allowed in physical education class.  These pose a danger to the individual and to others in the class.  If a student refuses to remove their piercing, they will not be allowed to participate and will be given a zero for a grade for that day.  Here is a link to the schools piercing policy.   NCCS Physical Education Piercing Policy
