Physical Education Policies and Guidelines 2021-22
Come prepared in your gym uniform.
No jewelry is should be worn for safety considerations.
Sneaker laces should be tied not tucked. Students should not wear compression gear. RESPECT YOURSELF, OTHERS AND THE EQUIPMENT.
Consistent violations of the uniform policy or two uncooperative behaviors(or any combination of both) would warrant any or all of the following: write up on your blue card, teacher-student conference, email to the parent.
Students may be excused from a uniform violation if a note is written and signed by a parent as long as the privilege is not abused. If your child has seen a doctor, a note from the physician is necessary explaining the illness or injury, time out of class and when he/she can resume activity. If your child cannot participate for any reason, a note from you is necessary to excuse them from class. Please email me with any questions or concerns. I will be happy to discuss them with you.
GRADING POLICIES • Students (Gr. 4-8) will receive at 2- 3 grades each trimester. If a written assignment is given, it is usually due back the following P.E. class. Tests are infrequent, but may be given.
GRADE EQUIVALENTS: Archdiocesan Criteria for P.E. 4= Exceeding: Student demonstrates complete understanding and high achievement of the P.E. standards.

2= Needs Improvement: Student demonstrates some understanding and minimal achievement of the P.E. standards.
1= Unsatisfactory: Student demonstrates little or no understanding and limited achievement of the P.E. standards.
I will do my best to keep my students safe, happy and inspired to be physically active for life!
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me directly at : rwallace@stbl.org
For children who have medical conditions (asthma, bee sting allergies, Diabetes etc.) or any physical limitations (fractures, breaks, strains, etc.) that need to be considered for Physical Education please copy and fill out the Physical Education Medical Alert form located on the School Forms page and return it to Mrs. Wallace immediately. Since PE class may also take place at Dermond Field it is important to know if there are medications that should accompany a student (Inhalers, Epi-Pens, etc.). There is no need to return a form unless a need is listed. Please note that this form is different from the emergency forms kept on record with the school.
