Course Objectives:

The purpose of physical education is for students to acquire the knowledge and skills for movement that provide the foundation for enjoyment, continued social development through physical activity, and access to a physically active lifestyle.

 

Supplies:

1. Students must wear a T-shirt and athletic shorts or athletic pants (sweatpants, wind pants, yoga pants).
2. A PE locker and combination will be issued.
3. You will need to bring athletic type shoes and socks daily or bring a pair to keep in your PE locker at school.
4. You may want to have additional items such as the following: deodorant, comb, brush, small hand towel, shower towel, shower toiletries, sweatshirt, and sweatpants.

 

Physical Education Rules:

1. Be on time for class. To be on time means being in the locker room prior to the tardy bell.
2. Be on time to roll check which is 5 minutes after the tardy bell.
3. Always respect all people and property.
4. Observe and follow all rules in the Student Handbook.
5. Dress out completely for PE daily, even if you are ill or injured. Dressing out completely means the student must be wearing a PE T-shirt, athletic shorts/pants, and athletic shoes.
6. Participation is required to receive any credit for each day. Even if you are ill or injured there will be ways to participate without aggravating the illness or injury. If you have seen a doctor for your illness/injury, a doctor’s note will be required so that the instructor can safely accommodate your needs.
7. For safety reasons, students will not be allowed to participate if they are not wearing appropriate attire. Each day a student does not dress out, they will be given loaner clothes and earn a lower grade for that day. Grades will be reduced to 70 for the 1st two non-dress days, 50 for the 3^rd and 4^th instances, and 0 for the 5th and beyond.
8. No hazardous jewelry will be allowed during activities.
9. All personal items must be locked in the PE locker provided. The instructor is not responsible for stolen items. Do not share your combination or locker with anyone.
10. Food, drinks (other than water), and gum are not allowed during class.
11. Profanity will not be allowed.
12. Do not play with any equipment without the instructor’s approval or presence.
13. Students will not be allowed to miss class time for matters that can be handled before school, after school or during lunch.

Pearland ISD Grading Policy: Daily Grades include classroom activities, homework, quizzes, in-class writing samples, or other in-class activities. Daily grades can be divided into different sub-categories, such as participatory daily grades (in-class activities, homework, etc.) and independent daily grades (quizzes, etc.). Major Grades include long-term projects, in-class assessments, and tests.

 

Honor Code:
*Grading consequences for academic dishonesty, including cheating or copying the work of another student, plagiarism (including the unauthorized use of artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT), and unauthorized communication between students during an exam.

Grading Guidelines for Secondary Campuses
Each campus should provide parents with information at the beginning of the school year about campus-specific grading policies and procedures that align with these district guidelines.

Types of Grades:

• Daily Grades include classroom activities, homework, quizzes, in-class writing samples, or other in-class activities. Daily grades can be divided into different sub-categories, such as participatory daily grades (in-class activities, homework, etc.) and independent daily grades (quizzes, etc.).
• Major Grades include long-term projects, in-class assessments, and tests.

Grades 9 – 12:

• Daily grades count for 40% of a student’s average and major grades count for 60% of a student’s average. In all science classes, daily grades count for 10% of a student’s average, lab work counts for 30%, and major grades count for 60% of a student’s average.

Additionally, types of grades within each category could be assigned different weights, but that differentiation should be consistent within a campus or within a department on that campus.

Non-numeric grades for areas such as Conduct and Work Habits are permissible if the campus administration chooses to provide those in order to help parents understand how their child is progressing within a grade level. SB 2033 requires a student’s grade to reflect their relative mastery of the TEKS for that grade level.

 

Grades 9 – 12: Minimum Number of Grades

Teachers are encouraged to provide a sufficient number of grades to allow multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery of the TEKS.

• Teachers are required to take a minimum of one daily grade per week beginning the first full week of school.
• Teachers are required to take a minimum of one (1) major grade every two (2) weeks of the grading period. With a minimum of three (3) major grades per grading period. (This includes the nine-week test/assessment)
• No single assignment should count for more than 20% of a student’s grade. It should be noted, however, that some major projects may be comprised of more than one assignment.

 

Texas House Bill 1481

The State of Texas has adopted a policy banning the use of personal communication devices during school hours. Personal Communication Devices are any electronic device capable of telecommunication or digital communication. This includes (but is not limited to):

• Cell phones such as a smartphone or flip phone
• Laptop
• Tablet
• Smartwatch
• Smart glasses
• Paging device
• Headphones/Earbuds

Exceptions include:

• Devices provided by schools to students for instruction.
• Devices necessary to implement an individualized education program (IEP) or Section 504.
• Devices for a student with a documented need based on the directive from a qualified physician.
• Devices necessary to comply with a health or safety requirement imposed by law or as a part of the district's or school's safety protocols. 

All personal devices must be turned off and stored away during school hours. Violations will follow a progressive discipline process, which may include confiscation of the device, parent/guardian pick-up ONLY, detention or in-school suspension (ISS) for repeated violations, and possible loss of device privileges on campus.
