Course Descriptions

HANNIBAL HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION POLICIES

EXCUSES: Only a doctor's excuse approved by the office will be accepted for non- participation.

MEDICAL ABSENCE: If a student must be absent from school for an extended period of time due to illness or injury, that student wil1 be given written make-up w'ork to help maintain his/her grade.

GRADING PROCEDURE: All students will be expected to dress out every day. If a student is not dressed out, they will not participate for daily credit and w'ill be required to walk. If an excuse for illness or injury is presented to the instructor, the student involved will not dress out or participate in activities for that day. The student will be permitted to officiate, keep score, keep time, work in the P.E. office, or be required to write a written report to make up their daily credit. The report will be due the next P.E. period or credit will not be given. AN APPROVED EXCUSE OTHER THAN THAT OF DOCTOR'S ORIGIN WILL BE GOOD FOR ONLY ONE DAY. In other words, a parent signed excuse is good for one day only. Only a doctor's excuse will be accepted thereafter.

I. The following grading system will be used in determining your grade: 75% physical participation, effort, and skill; 25% written and/or skill.

A. Daily Points: Students who are present and dressed for class accumulate 15 points points may be deducted for lack of participation and effort, disruptive class participation, unacceptable behavior and attitude, and jewelry worn.

B. Points will be deducted for wearing the same c1othes in P .E. class as were worn to school that day.  15 point will be deducted for the first nondress or any partial dress. 30 pts. for the second nondress. 60 pts. for the third. 120 pts. for the fourth. and 240 pts. for the fifth and so on.

C. Sunglasses and hats are forbidden in class. Exception: students may wear sunglasses outside if sunny. These two items are forbidden in the gym.

D. Three points will be deducted for each tardy.

E. If a student is absent no more than 5 days of class, a 2 page report for each absence may be witten as makeup. School sponsored activities will be excused from doing the report. Report topics can be received from the instructor. The student will be given the makeup points if the report is of sound quality. The report is due within one week after returning from the absence. For absences exceeding 5 days of Physical Education class, the student must meet with his/her instructor to discuss work required to make up missed daily points. Possible activities could include extensive research papers, projects, physical workouts, etc. It is the students responsibility to meet with the teacher to receive required work, and the work must be turned in within a set time period. Physical Education is a PARTICIPATION class so attendance is vital. It is understandable that absences are due to medical reasons, therefore, if a medical excuse for absence is presented to the Physical Education instructor for every absence exceeding 5 days then consideration will be taken in regards to makeup work given.

CLASS PROCEDURE: You will be allowed 8 to 10 minutes to dress and be in your proper place in line for roll and exercises. If you are not in the proper place and completely dressed w'hen the instructor leaves the locker room, a tardy will be issued. Be completely dressed. . .. shoes tied and so on. We will leave activity areas 10 minutes before the end of the period. Be sure to lock your va1uables in your locker before leaving the dressing area. If you hav'e a large sum of rnoney in your possession for some reason, let the instructor lock it in his/her office. After dressing, wait in the assigned area until the bell rings. All clothes are to be taken home the last P .E. day of the week and washed. Make sure you have your c1othes back in your locker for the next P.E. day. A suggestion is to have an extra set of clothes in your locker for those days that you may forget. Never wear anything in P .E. class that you wore to school that day.

REOUlRED P.E. CLOTHES: Solid colored T-shirts, shorts, white socks, and tennis shoes are the required activity clothes. Wear something you can move well in. Students will be given a notice by the instructor if their clothes are not appropriate. Upon receiving this notice, the student is expected to bring different, more suitable clothes the following day.

TARDY POLICY: Tardiness has become a severe problem recently and has not been taken seriously by the majority of students. Being on time for class is just as important as being on time for work or any other function. For this reason, these measures will be taken for tardies. As mentioned previously, three points will be deducted for each tardy. The1st tardy will be a verbal warning, plus point deduction. The 2nd through 5th tardy will receive an after school detention which will be assigned to serve the following day after receiving the detention and the point deduction. On the 6th tardy and thereafter an office referral will be issued. After school detentions assigned by the teacher are to be served on the next day after receiving the tardy. NO EXCEPTIONS will be accepted for not being able to serve the detention unless of course emergency reasons arise. Emergency reasons do not include WORK, DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, BABYSITTING, or UNAVAILABLE RIDES HOME. If an after school detention is not served, school handbook policy will be followed.

 
IF A STUDENT DOES NOT HA VE TENNIS SHOES FOR CLASS, HE/SHE WILL RECEIVE A NONDRESS. NO ONE WILL BE PERMITTED TO DRESS OUT WITHOUT PROPER FOOTWEAR.

THE USE OF PROFANITY WILL NOT BE TOLERA TED AT ANY TIME. THIS IS AGAINST SCHOOL POLICY AS WELL AS THE POLICIES OF THIS CLASS.

SODA MUST BE KEPT IN THE LOCKER ROOMS. CANS SHOULD BE DEPOSITED IN DESIGNA TED TRASH CANS AND MAY NOT BE CARRIED UP ON THE GYM FLOOR OR OUT OF THE BUILDING.

AFTER SCHOOL DETENTIONS MAYBE ASSIGNED FOR TARDINESS, EXCESSIVE NONDRESSES, 
MISBEHAVIOR IN CLASS, or other DISCIPLINARY REASONS. DETENTIONS NOT SERVED WILL BE HANDLED AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY IN THE TARDY SECTION.

ABSENCE REPORT TOPICS

For absences of 5 days or less, a 2 page handwritten report or 1 page double-spaced, typed report must be written for each absent day to receive daily credit. The report is due within a week of being absent to receive full credit. A different topic must be chosen for each absence. The topic must be researched thoroughly and the report written in the student's own words. Graphics can not be counted in page length requirements. A list of sources must be included at the end of the report as to where the information was found.
