COWART PHYSICAL EDUCATION

TEACHERS SUPERVISE STUDENTS TO THE DESIGNATED AREA PRIOR TO P.E.


PE STAFF WILL SUPERVISE STUDENTS TO THE DESIGNATED AREA FOLLOWING P.E.
ALL STUDENTS SHOULD ATTEND P.E. ON TIME EVERYDAY UNLESS PRIOR
ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED WITH ME.
 ANY STUDENT LATE TO P.E. DUE TO LATE CHECK-IN OR AN EMERGENCY
SITUATION WILL NEED TO BE WALKED TO THE DESIGNATED AREA.

STUDENTS DO NOT NEED TO BE LEFT UNATTENDED WAITING TO ENTER THE PE AREA.
ALSO PE MAY BE AT ANOTHER SITE ON CAMPUS AND A STUDENT COULD GE LEFT BEHIND.

FRIDAY MAY BE USED AS A BEHAVIORAL RE ENFORCEMENT FOR HOMEROOM
TEACHERS UPON DISCUSSION PRIOR TO P.E.



.
TENNIS SHOES MUST BE WORN TO PE EVERYDAY AND CHANGED INTO PRIOR
TO ARRIVAL TO P.E.WE DO NOT HAVE A SECURE AREA TO STORE THEM.
PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN YOU HAVE SPECIAL EVENTS.

PLEASE REMIND STUDENTS TO NOT BRING GUM, CANDY, FOOD , DRINK, OR
TOYS TO P.E. CLASS.

SICK NOTES MUST BE TURNED IN TO ME.
 IF A CHILD HAS HAD A SEVERE ILLNESS WHICH HAS ACCUMULATED
SEVERAL ABSENCES I WILL ACCOMMODATE MAKE UP WORK TO HELP
GET THE STUDENT CAUGHT UP.

I WANT TO HANDLE ALL DISCIPLINE ISSUES RELATED TO P.E. STUDENTS ARE REMINDED
THAT WHAT HAPPENS IN P.E. STAYS IN P.E.
AN“UNSATISFACTORY” GRADE IN PE WILL KEEP THE STUDENT OFF OF THE A-B HONOR ROLL.

IF SPECIAL EVENTS CAUSE A CHANGE IN YOUR SCHEDULE I WILL BE MORE
THAN HAPPY TO REARRANGE OR MAKE UP LOST P.E. TIME.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DO NOT HESITATE TO DISCUSS THIS WITH ME.
