Physical Education Course Outline

The following policies include requirements as specified by the Racine Unified School District and the Park High Physical Education Department.

It is understood that effort, determination, perseverance, and other intangible qualities will influence a student's improvement and performance. Chronic unexcused absences from class, tardiness, refusal to participate, not being properly dressed for activity,m and behavior disruptive to the learning climate may be reasons for failure.

Grading - No Food or Drink in Physical Education. C.D.s Discretion of Instructor

  1. Unit Grade
    1. Students earn one point for each day that they are properly dressed, participating and cooperative in class. Students can lose points for conduct not appropriate for class.
    2. Students will lose points for the following:
      • Tardiness - loss of one point for ever two tardies.
      • Absence - loss of one point for each day after three absences.
        • **Make up will be provided for students who were absent during a unit. Make up must be arranged with the teacher of the unit in question no more than one week after the last day of the unit.
      • Truancies - loss of one point for each day truant
    3. Associated Class Occurrences
      • Medical Excuses - Only a written doctors excuse will exempt a student from taking class. Doctors excuses must have the length of time to be excused and what specific activities must be restricted. Long term medical problems (two units or more) and early semester pregnancies will be dropped form physical education. If the Student will miss more than half the unit, the student will receive a "medical c." The "medical c" can be improved with written work and the consent of the instructor.
      • Counselors Appointment - students should not have more than one counselors appointment per unit.
      • Field Trips - students are to have a field trip permission slip signed two days before the scheduled trip.
    4. Unit Grading Scales
      5. These grading scales apply depending on the length of the unit.

      		 21 Days 22 Days 23 Days 24 Days
      A
      		20-21 21-22 22-23 23-24
      B
      		 19 20 21 22
      C
      		 18 19 20 21
      D
      		 17 18 19 20
      F
      		 0-16 0-17 0-18 0-19

  2. Quarter and Semester Grades
    1. Physical education unit grades are averaged to determine both quarter and semester grades.
    2. Once a unit grade is established, it is given a value: A=4. B=3. C=2. D=1. F=0.
    3. Quarter Grades will be determined by averaging the two unit grades for that specific quarter
      • EXAMPLE : Unit one A (4) + Unit two C (2) = B (3)
    4. Semester grades will be determined by the average of all 4 unit grades using the same scale and method as indicated above.
    5. If a quarter or semester grade falls directly between two grade levels, the instructor will average the grade up to the next level.
    6. The following are exceptions to the strict averaging of unit grades to determine quarter and semester grades.
      • Since physical education is a participation course, students must realize that they can not hope to pass if they do not reasonably participate. To be considered as participation, a student must participate in all units and must successfully pass a majority of the units in a semester. A student who receives a unit grade of A and then fails the next three units in the semester will fail the semester.
      • A student who earns less than 10 points in any one unit will receive a F grade for the semester. Earning less than 10 points in any one unit is considered a non-attempt.
      • A student who earns less than 15 points in any two units will receive a F grade for the semester. Earning less that 15 points in any two units is considered a non-attempt.
    7. Each student is to wear the Racine Unified approved blue shirt and shorts. A plain white tee shirt may substitute for a blue shirt. If a sweat shirt is worn, the blue Racine or plain white shirt must be worn underneath. The student must provide their own towel and lock.
    8. It is recommended that students do not store their physical education uniforms and equipment in the locker rooms. The locker room is only to be used during their Physical Education period.
    9. Swimming is the only activity that is specifically required of all students. All students must pass one unit of swimming with a "D".
    10. The only way a student will be excused from the swimming requirement is a permanent medical excuse from a doctor. Notes from parents will not be accepted as excused from swimming.
    11. Swimming students will wear the school provided suits if the instructor feels the student's suit is inappropriate.

Physical Education Bowling Permission Form

This permission slip will be given to all the students taking the bowling unit in physical education. A parent or guardian is then required to sign the slip for the student to bring back.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Your child has chosen bowling as an elective in our physical education program. The class is held at Hillside Bowling Lanes (1400 13th Street), which is four blocks from Park High. Students are required to walk to and from the bowling lanes in a group. This is a precautionary measure we must insist upon as there have been some altercation in the past which have resulted in injuries to students. Driving or riding in a vehicle will result in the students grade being lowered, with possible failure, and possible removal from bowling class. Future bowling privileges will be taken away. Your signature below will indicate that you know and approve that they are taking bowling under these conditions. The cost of bowling is $1.50 per day, or you can make a check out to Hillside Lanes for the amount that will cover the entire unit.

Julie Rupnow, Department Chairperson
Dan Thielen, Principal

Bowling Alley Rules

  1. You must have a permission slip sighned by your parent or guardian in order to take bowling.
  2. You must walk to and from the bowling alley. You may not drive or ride to and from bowling alley. If you do, your grade will be lowered, with possible failure, and possible removal from bowling class. Future bowling privileges will be taken away.
  3. You must walk in a group down to and back from the bowling alley.Do not walk alone.
  4. Stay at you school office if you check in late or if you have a counseling appointment.
  5. No smoking in the bowling alley.
  6. Change your shoes on the carpet area and leave them there. Do not walk down by the scorers table with you street shoes on. Getting that area wet will cause your shoes to stick instead of slide and you could get injured.
  7. Stay behind the foul lines. Going across the foul line will result in getting lane oil on you shoes and it is very slippery.
  8. Be careful in taking a bowling ball off the ball return.
  9. When you return to school you must enter the building through the Fieldhouse entrance.
  10. No horseplay when walking to and from the bowling alley.
