Middle School Physical Education
Course Expectations and
Policies
PHILOSOPHY:
Physical Education is a full
partner in students’ overall education.
Our quality program will help students learn to accept responsibility
for their classmates’ safety, assume leadership in team decisions, accept ethical
responsibility for actions towards their teammates, and develop motor and
sports skills to promote health and fitness throughout life. It is students’ interest,
enthusiasm, and participation that will be the key to their success in the PE
program at Sherwood Middle School.
GRADING:
Grades will be based on the
following:
1. 30% Practice
(giving best effort in daily class activities to prepare for assessments)
2. 50% Formative
Assessments (performance tasks, exit tickets, physical fitness testing, etc.)
3. 20 % Summative
Assessments (written tests, applying
rules, applying principles of training & conditioning, develop fitness
plan, etc.)
Grading Scale: 90% = Advanced
80 % = Proficient
70 % = Progressing

required to wear athletic shorts or sweats (no buttons, zippers or any
other hard materials) and a T-shirt. All
clothing must meet the SMS dress code.

reason you do not have your PE uniform, PE clothes are available for loan.
Students will also be required to have athletic shoes that are appropriate
for running, jumping and other physical activity.

Student guidelines for dressing appropriately:
All clothing needs to be worn
appropriately. Students will not be allowed to roll their shorts down at the
waistband or tie their shirts in a knot front or back. All students must have
their short’s waistband sitting over their hipbones and t-shirts should not be
ripped.
MISCELLANEOUS
1.
Without an excuse note, a student well enough to
attend school will be expected to dress down and participate in the P.E. class
to the best of his or her ability.
Students who choose not to dress down will not participate. Please send a note with your student if the
student’s ability to participate in PE will be limited in any way. Students who are unable to participate fully may
be given a separate assignment to complete in lieu of an assessment.
2. In
the case of a prolonged illness or injury (more than 3 school days), a doctor’s
note is necessary in order to excuse the student from those physical activities
which the doctor deems necessary.
3. Students
are responsible for making sure they have locked all personal items in their
lockers before leaving the dressing room.
SMS is not responsible for any stolen items. Do not give out your locker combination to
anyone!
4. Students
are to remain in the locker room after class until the teacher has dismissed
them. If this policy is not followed,
consequences for skipping class as outlined in the student handbook may be
enforced.
5.
Food, drink, and
gum are not allowed in the gym or the locker rooms.
- Students should not wear
jewelry during class.
- No aerosol cans or glass
containers are allowed in the locker room.
MAKE-UP POLICY
Students who miss
class for any reason, miss valuable learning opportunities and possible
assessments. If a student misses class for any reason they need to check in with
their teacher to obtain any missed information, resources, or additional help.
If they missed an assessment, they will need to make arrangements to complete
the assessment.
