General Information

Expectations

If a student is absent it is THEIR responsibility to make up missed work/assessments.
Any student not in class when attendance is taken will be counted absent/tardy.
Parents may contact me by phone during my planning period (12:35pm-1:20pm) or by email at any time with any questions, comments or concerns.
In Physical Education, students will be exposed to fitness skills/testing that will help promote a physically fit and active lifestyle. Students will not only learn fitness skills but will be exposed to sports skills as well.
Students will need to dress out for P.E.; however, tennis shoes MUST be worn on P.E. days in order to receive full credit along with participation. Students will be allowed time to dress out and clothes must follow dress code policy.

We will have tests on the materials we cover. Students will have adequate time to study/review the materials before taking the test.
