Course Expectations

Students are expected to:

  • Bring a change of clothes for physical education classes.
  • Take part in all physical education classes unless they have a note from home excusing them from      class.  If they are exempt from class they should bring study materials to class.
  • Refrain from having food or gum in the gym.
  • Exhibit sportsmanship, a positive attitude, and give maximum effort.
  • Be changed for class and be on time. 

Evaluation Policy (Grade 1 to 4)

For each reporting period the students will be evaluated as follows: participation (50%), movement skills (50%).

Grade 1 students will be given a daily mark out of 2 (based on participation and attitude) by the teacher, and are not expected to change for class.

For grade 2-4 students, there will be a daily participation and attitude score (out of 3) given by the teacher.  Students will lose 2 marks for not being properly changed for class.

Evaluation Policy - Grade 5 to 8

For each reporting period the students will be evaluated as follows: participation (40%), skills (30%), and written tests/theory (30%).

Participation scores for grade 6-8 students will be based on a daily self-assessment (mark out of 5); while skills scores will be self-assessed at various times throughout the year (mark out of 5).  The teacher reserves the right to adjust scores if it is not an honest representation of what is deserved.  A rubric outlining these assessments is below. 

For grade 5 students, there will be a daily participation and attitude score (out of 3) given by the teacher.  Students will lose 2 marks for not being properly changed for class.
