Physical Education Class
Physical Education Policies
A letter grade is to be used for each quarter. Students who are unprepared and do not participate must make up one class or each missed class prior to the end of the quarter. Students who are suspended from school must make up all classes missed.
PE grading will count for Honor Roll, Principal's List, and Grade Point Average (GPA).
Medical certificates of limitation are required from a doctor whenever any physical impairment prohibits participation in the full range of PE activities. Medical certificates of limitation are available from the nurse.
Short-term medical excuses may range from one day to a few weeks. Excuses signed by a parent are accepted for a one-day. If an excuse exceeds one-day, a doctor's appointment and a doctor's appointment and a doctor's excuse are recommended. These classes must be made up or written two-page report for each week is required. For long term medical excuses, which exceed a one-week absence, written reports are assigned. A two-page report per week is required. Students will be assigned to a study hall. For example, a 10-week medical excuse would require 20 pages. Arrangements and topics etc. should be discussed with the instructor.
Students deficient in credits can make up classes in summer school.

Character Education
Character Education promotes core ethical values as a basis of good character. "Character" must be comprehensively defined to include thinking, feeling, and behavior. Effective character education requires an intentional, proactive, and comprehensive approach that promotes the core values in all phases of school life. The school must be a caring community for character education to be successful. To develop character students need opportunities for moral action in real life challenges. Effective character education includes a meaningful and challenging academic curriculum that respects all learners and helps them to succeed. Character education should strive to develop students' intrinsic motivation. The school staff needs to become a learning and moral community in which all share responsibility for character education and attempt to adhere to the same core values that guide the education of students. The school must elicit parents and community members as full partners in the character-building effort.
