• Students should be in their gym uniform for class. No other substitute
attire is acceptable.
•No jewelry ( plastic, metal or string) is to be worn for safety
considerations.
•This includes watches, “Livestrong” type bracelets or “Silly Bandz”,
earrings,necklaces, etc..
•Sneaker laces should be tied not tucked.
•Two or more violations of the uniform policy or two uncooperative behavior
write ups(or any combination of both) would warrant any or all of the
following:detention, demerit or teacher-student conference.
•All infractions are recorded on index cards and dated by the student.
Students may be excused from a uniform violation if a note is written and
signed by the parent as long as the privilege is not abused.
•If your child has seen a doctor, a note from the physician is necessary
explaining the illness or injury, time out of class and when he/she can resume
activity.
•If your child cannot participate for any reason, a note from you is necessary
to excuse them from class.
•Please call or email me with any questions or concerns. I will be happy to
discuss them with you.
GRADING POLICIES
• Students (Gr. 4-8) will receive at least 3 grades each trimester.
• If a written assignment is given, it is usually due back the following
P.E. class.
•Tests are infrequent, but may be given.
Students in grades 4-8 are given mandatory Archdiocesan Performance
Assessments in PE usually during the third trimester. Each assessment is
worth one grade and is completed in school by the student.
•Rubrics have been devised to evaluate performance according to the
•Archdiocesan Criteria. Grades are rated on a scale of 1
(unsatisfactory)to 4 (exceeding).
Grades are entered into RVS Gradebook after all
students have completed their performance assessments or testing.
GRADE EQUIVALENTS (Archdiocesan Policy for P.E. effective 9/2011)
4= Exceeding: Student demonstates complete understanding and
high achievement of the P.E. standards.
3= Developing Appropriately: Student demonstrates a
satisfactory understanding and adequate achievement of the P.E. standards
2= Needs Improvement: Student demonstrates some understanding
and minimal achievement of the P.E. standards.
1= Unsatisfactory: Student demonstrates little or no
understanding and limited achievement of the P.E. standards.
I will do my best to keep my students safe, happy and inspired to be
physically active for life!
