High School Physical Education
Department Expectations The mission of our High School Healthful Living Department is to empower students to sustain regular, lifelong physical activity as a foundation for healthy, productive and fulfilling life.
CLASS OBJECTIVES:
1. Students will successfully perform daily dynamic warm-up routines.
2. Students will actively engage in cardiovascular exercise.
3. Students will be able to describe and participate in a variety of continuous lifetime activities.
4. Students will demonstrate strength in balance, power, speed, strength, flexibility and cardiovascular strength/endurance.
I. CLASS RULES
A. DRESS AND ROLL CALL
1. Students are to be inside the locker room BEFORE the tardy bell. Five minutes are allowed for changing clothes.
2. Everyone will wait inside the locker room until the supervising teacher signals everyone to leave.
3. Students must remain quiet and on-task during warm-ups, agilities, and activities.
4. Students must remain with their supervising teacher at all times.
5. Students will have the opportunity to use restroom facilities located inside the locker room before and at the end of class.
B. POLICY ON PHYSICAL EDUCATION UNIFORM
Physical education students are REQUIRED to change into “appropriate” shoes, socks, and uniforms. The correct uniform will consist of shorts (appropriate length) and a t-shirt with sleeves. Inappropriate dress will result in loss of daily class points. All clothing for physical education classes must comply with the Wake County Public Schools Dress Code Policy.
C. MEDICAL EXCUSE
Any student not able to participate for a medical reason must STILL dress before discussing those reasons with the teacher. The student is still responsible for completing make-up work for that day.
D. LOCKS
All students must supply their own lock. If you can not afford to purchase a lock, please see you teacher. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all belongings are locked and secured for class each day. Please put all belongings in a locker – do not leave anything out. All locks must be removed at the end of every class, every day. Failure to remove your lock at the end of the period will force the PE staff to cut the lock off the locker for subsequent classes to use. The Healthful Living Department and its staff is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
E. Absolutely NO FOOD, DRINK OR GUM is allowed in the gym, locker rooms, and any other class locations.
A lunch detention will be assigned for non-compliance.

Students in any class of the Healthful Living Department should expect daily cardiovascular activity. Your teacher will alert you to changes in your activities based on weather and spaces available.
III. CARE OF SCHOOL EQUIPMENT The proper care of equipment is required of all students. Any abuse or misuse of equipment will result in the cost of repair or replacement.
