Expectations

At Drauden Point we are happy to work as a team to encourage and teach all of the important aspects of physical education. 

Grading
Students are graded on a variety of items that can be broken down in to three main categories:  participation and effort, skill application and written assignments/tests.
The breakdown of percentages used to determine a students’ quarter grade is as follows:
50% Participation and Effort
25% Skill Application
25% Written Assignment/Tests

Participation and Effort
Up to 10 points may be earned daily for each student. Students may lose participation and effort points for improperly completing daily warm-ups, wearing jewelry to class, not having proper shoes, and/or improper behavior during class activities. Students out of physical education will earn their participation points for that day by completing a written assignment realted to physical education.

Skill Application
Time is spent each unit to teach and develop the skills needed to successfully be able to participate in a given sport or fitness activity. These skills are evaluated as the students apply them to the activities and games during the course of the unit.

Written Assignments/Tests
Tests are generally given during each unit, as well as tests and written assignments given during health.

Dress/Rentals
All students need to dress for class each day. Refusal to dress will not be tolerated and will be addressed with a daily grade reduction and teachers will follow a consistent disciplinary policy. 

This policy is set on a semester basis, and includes the following procedures:

1st offense - loss of points and reminder of the policy
2nd offense - loss of points and reminder of the policy
3rd offense - loss of points, parent contact, detention
4th offense - loss of points, detention
5th and future offenses - loss of points and referral

Behavior Management
Students are expected to follow all school rules as listed in their handbook; as well as the general rules specific to physical education. Since these rules promote safety and allow for a conducive learning environment for all students,  consequences will occur when inappropriate actions are demonstrated.  The severity of the situation will dictate what consequence would be appropriate.
Consequences for being late to class will follow the standard tardy policy for our building.

Health Curriculum

All students are involved in six weeks of health education during their physical education class each year. Grades for health are incorporated in to their physical education grade during the quarter for which these units are taught.   The units covered at each grade level are listed below.
 
 


6th Grade

First Aid & Safety 
Personal Fitness
Safety

7th Grade

Fitness & Nutrition
Body Systems
 
8th Grade
Sex Respect /Game Plan
Substance Abuse

Students will participate in two separate three week units throughout the year. During this time, the units covered will be taught by their teacher using a variety of teaching strategies. This may include group discussion, written assignments and tests. The text book, Teen Health will be used, as well as other supplementary materials. 

If you have any further questions or ever need to communicate with your child’s teacher, please feel free to contact us through email or voice mail.
