Grading Policy
The following assessment will be used to determine a student�s grade for each quarter. A student�s final grade is an average of all four quarters as long as they meet the Middle Country School District Attendance Policy. The quarter and final grade will appear as a numerical grade.
1. Every student will begin each quarter with 100 points which is broken down into four parts. Parts 1 and 2 will have point values logged in every Physical Education class. Parts 3 and 4 will be given a point value for each activity.
Part 1: 60 of the 100 points will come from the following four categories: (3 points per class, 60 points per quarter)
1. Prepared for Class.
Students need proper physical education attire i.e. sneakers, shorts or sweat-pants and appropriate top to participate in physical activities. Students are not allowed to wear jewelry during physical education class. All electronic devices (i-pods, cell phones, laptops, etc.), personal belongings, backpacks and purses must be locked up before coming into the gym class. Students may not bring food and/or drinks into the gym.
If a student is prepared and participates they maintain 3 points and if they are unprepared 3 points will be deducted. These point values are assessed every day a student has physical education class.
2. Participation in Class.
If a student is prepared for class, the 3 points a student received for being prepared can be REDUCED FOR NON-PARTICIPATION.
1. The first time a teacher has to address NON- PARTICIPATION; the student will lose 1 point.
2. The second time a teacher has to address NON- PARTICIPATION; the student will lose 2 points.
3. The third time a teacher has to address NON-PARTICIPATION; the student will lose 3 points.
Not Actively Participating in Class = NAP
NAP- Only 2 per marking period may be made up. They can only be made up after school in the fitness center and within 2 weeks of receiving the NAP.
3. Attendance.
If a student is absent from physical education class, they are required to make-up the work by critiquing an article or attending after school fitness center. If the article or attending fitness center is not completed, the student will lose 3 points for not completing the assignment. Absence from class includes: Legal absence, illegal absence, band or chorus lessons, field trips and pass room.
Cuts can not be made up. A student will lose 4 points for the class (3 points for non participation and 1 point for not fulfilling personal and social responsibilities).
4. Late for Class.
A student is expected to be on time for class. If they are late with a pass and they can not get dressed for class because the locker-room is locked, they need to critique an article for that day. If the paper work is not completed, a student will lose 3 points for the day for non- participation. If a student is late without a pass and prepared, they are subject to losing 1 to 3 points depending on how late they are.
Part 2: 20 of the 100 points. (1 point per class, 20 points for the quarter)
I. Personal and Social Responsibilities:
The student will demonstrate; cooperation with teachers and fellow students, respect for staff and peers, sportsmanship, and proper usage of Physical Education facilities and equipment.
If a student satisfies their personal and social responsibilities, they will receive 1 point for each physical education class. Failure to do so will result in a deduction of 1 point for the class.
If a student is on time for class, prepared with proper physical education attire and participates to their fullest and fulfills individual and social responsibilities, they will be credited 4 points per class (3 points for part 1, plus 1 point for Part 2). If they do this every day for the quarter, they will be credited with 80 points.
Part 3: 10 of the 100 points.
1. A written test for most units.
Part 4: 10 of the 100 points.
1. A skill evaluation for most units.
