Mission Our mission is to facilitate students in improving their quality of life through regular physical activity. This will be accomplished by using a student-centered approach while teaching the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective aspects of physical fitness and demonstrating personal responsibility in all areas of the curriculum. Expected Student Outcome Participation in Physical Education shall require clothing appropriate to the activity, such as, tennis shoes, shorts (appropriate), t-shirts and sweatpants. This promotes freedom of movement, safe participation, and builds a good hygienic practice. Should a student not wear tennis shoes to school, they can bring them in their book bag or store them in their locker and change before class. Should a student have any special needs, they should see their coach to make arrangements when necessary. Each unit of activity will be 2 weeks long. Grading Student’s will be able to earn up to 3 points each day:
1 point for safety
1 point for skill assessment
1 point for sportsmanship
If a student needs to be excused from participating, they must do the following:
Bring a signed and dated written note from a parent or guardian with a valid reason (illness/injury).
If the student has a serious illness or injury that will keep the student from participating for more than three days a doctor’s note will be required. The coach will then assign alternative work.

Do not share your locker or combination, you are responsible for your own lock and you are the only one who will be given the combination. Students will be held responsible for their lock and locker.

Per Board Policy- 2240 – CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES The Board recognizes that a course of study or certain instructional materials may contain content and/or activities that some parents find objectionable. If after careful, personal review of the program lessons and/or materials, a parent indicates to the school that either the content or the activity conflicts with his religious beliefs or value system, the school will consider a written request for his child to be excused from a particular class for specified reasons. The student, however, will not be excused from participating in the course and will be provided alternate learning activities during times of such parent requested absences. Below are additional resources to help with questions related to Board Policy 2240: • For information on the standards taught within this course, please visit https://www.cpalms.org/public/search/Standard. • There are instructional mandates that are required by the Florida Department of Education that may be covered within this course. For more information on these, please review Florida Statute 1003.42, Required Instruction. • Florida legislation that can be reviewed to assist with additional questions related to Controversial Issues and/or parent’s rights are House Bill 0007, House Bill 1467, and House Bill 1557.
