PHYSICAL EDUCATION - CLASS DISCLOSURE
Mr. Trujillo
 
PHILOSOPHY OF CLASS
The primary goal of Physical Education is to develop the student’s knowledge and skills through the participation of a variety of sports, games and activities.  They will also learn about having a healthy lifestyle and the importance of physical activity on a daily basis.  It is my hope that each student has a positive attitude and gives their best effort in class every day!  I would love for them to take from my class an increased love of physical activity, a better understanding of different sports, games and activities, a desire for a healthy lifestyle, and an increased self-esteem.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Students are expected to be in class each day, unless properly excused by the school or parent/guardian.  Students are only allowed to make up 4 absences in each quarter unless previously arranged, or an emergency comes up.  They are responsible for coming in before school to make up these absences.  
Students may choose what they would like to do to make up points from this list:

● Participate in 30 minutes of physical activity at home, such as:  an aerobics class, running, jogging, walking, hiking, biking, any sport, etc.  You must log on to Canvas and fill out the absence form completely and submit it.
● Attend any school-sanctioned game, with a note telling me details about the game, along with a signature of one of the teacher/administrators in attendance.
● A 2-page, double-spaced paper on the subjects of:  “Living a Healthy Lifestyle”, someone famous in sports, and what they are famous for, “Health and Nutrition”, rules and strategies for any sport of your choice, or if you want to come up with your own subject, see Mr. Trujillo for approval.
● Make up your own game or activity with a complete list of rules and a description of how to play, with the equipment needed.

Students will have 1 week after an absence to make it up!!!!!

TARDY POLICY
During a quarter, if a student accumulates 4 unexcused tardies, he/she will receive a drop in citizenship grade, (“S” to “N”) and tardies will be tagged in MyStudent.  Parents will be contacted on the 4th tardy, and the contact will be documented in MyStudent.  A 5th tardy results in a drop in citizenship (“N” to “U”).  A 6th tardy will result in a subsequent parent conference with administration.

DRESS CODE
Students must be dressed in appropriate clothes for physical activity.  This includes tennis shoes, socks, black shorts and a white, black, grey, or any Sand Ridge t-shirt.   Shoes must be tied TIGHT.  Shorts must be black with little to no writing on them. Shorts must be to the length of the mid-thigh or longer.  Black yoga pants, or leggings are allowed, but not too tight.  Jackets and sweats are allowed for cold days, but must be plain in color with little to no writing on them.   We will go outside at 40 degrees and above.  When it is below 40 degrees we will be inside.

SUPPLIES
● Every student MUST have:  A pen or pencil to write with, a notebook of paper, and a chromebook.
● Students must keep these in their GYM locker to have for TEST DAYS

LOCKER ROOM CONDUCT AND RULES
Locks will be assigned to each student.  The combination MUST be memorized, and not given to anyone else.  Students are responsible for their own lock, and will return it at the end of the semester.  If the lock is not returned or damaged, they will be given a fine of $10.  I will personally have all the combinations for the locks as well.  This is for emergency purposes ONLY.  You must know your own combination!  Please make sure your lock is locked each time you use it.  If not, things may be stolen at your own risk!
If you would like to bring a lock from home that will be welcomed, the student will have to give me his/hers combination for emergency purposes as well.

DAILY PROCEDURES
Where to meet will be posted in the locker rooms every day.  Make sure to check the whiteboard!
Roll call and stretching will be done, daily objectives given, activities done, and we’ll have lots of fun!

OTHER CLASS RULES
● Students will have plenty of time to change, use the bathroom and get a drink before class starts.  Students will not be allowed bathroom breaks during class unless extreme emergencies.
● There will be no gum allowed in the gym!
● ABSOLUTELY NO horseplay, hazing, teasing, bullying etc. allowed at ANY time!  Everyone deserves respect and deserves to feel safe.
● Do NOT leave the locker room before the bell rings to go to your next class.
● Stay out of other lockers
● ABSOLUTELY no swearing or inappropriate language or behavior will be tolerated!
● No cell phone or any electronic device allowed. (NO earbuds!!) Anything electronic will be taken and given back at the end of class.  Please don’t bring them!!!

● Participation - Each day is worth 5 points.  Students earn 2 points by dressing properly.  (Tennis shoes, socks, black shorts and a white t-shirt or Sand Ridge colors) Full participation earns 2 points.  Proper locker room behavior/demonstrating a positive attitude and following the rules earns 1 point.  PLEASE dress every day!  If there is some medical reason why students cannot dress and participate, please send a note signed by a parent/guardian and/or doctor telling me what’s going on.  If students are sick or injured, I need a parent’s note excusing them from participating in class, and they will need to copy rules for a variety of sports from the white binder.  If they work hard throughout class, they can earn their points.
● I will post grades every Friday.  THIS DISCLOSURE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WHEN I FEEL IT IS NECESSARY!!
