PHYSICAL EDUCATION  COURSE EXPECTATIONS

          Our goal in the Physical Education Department at Finn Hill is to provide each student with an opportunity for success.  We evaluate students on the quality of effort and care they put into the physical education class activities, regardless of their physical ability.

We believe every student can be successful.

P.E. DRESS POLICY

Proper dress for P.E. class consists of the following:

1.       UNALTERED P.E. t-shirt with YOUR name.  In cold weather wear a sweatshirt over your P.E. t-shirt.  Shirts can be purchased in the student office for $6.00.

2.       Sweat pants or athletic shorts.  No jeans or cargo pants. Do not wear the clothes you came to school in! Do not wear your regular clothes underneath your P.E. clothes. Students need to provide their own sweats or shorts.

3.       Athletic shoes.

ABSENCE POLICY

It is the student’s responsibility to make up absences.  ABSENT MAKEUP FORMS are available in the boys’ and girls’ locker room, or students can download copies from this website.  Students have one week to make up absences.  Absences not made up will result in level 0 for those days.  Students are allowed to makeup up to ten absences.

EVERYDAY REGARDLESS OF EXCUSE FOR ILLNESS OR INJURY.****** Students with notes for illness or injury will still participate, but in adapted activities designated by the teacher/parent. A doctor’s note is required for illness or injury lasting longer than three days.
