Dear Parent and Guardians,

     As you know, state law requires that students earn one unit of physical education and

health to receive a high school diploma.  You may access your student’s grades at any time by using PowerSchool.  If you did not get your PowerSchool login at registration, the guidance office will provide the login to the parent with a valid ID.

     Normally grades in our class are determined by dressing out, participation, written tests, skills tests, and classroom assignments.  However this year with Covid-19 being an issue we will not be dressing out for our PE class. Students are required to participate in physical activities daily.  Students are responsible for keeping their valuables secure.

     During the semester, your child will be administered the Fitnessgram fitness test.  He/She will also be taught a variety of individual and team sports, physical conditioning which includes a cardio- vascular program, and the comprehensive health unit which parents can preview if you want.

     We appreciate your support in making this course a rewarding and educational one for your child.  We welcome any comments concerning your child which you feel will be beneficial to us in working with him or her.  Please be specific about any health problems that your child may have.
