Basic to health education is the knowledge about the importance of the interrelationships of physical, behavioral, and social well-being and the prevention of diseases and other health problems.

This will be a 20-point assignment. If you have a separate binder just for health class, you can leave it in the class bin in the back of the room.

If you have 4 or less absences from class (including sweeps, excused or unexcused absences) and have a 75% or better, you do NOT have to take the final exam. A school field trip or campus event does not count as an absence. If you are exempt, you can choose to take the final to improve your grade. Even if you are exempt from the final, you are still required to attend class on the day of final exams. Homework Homework is due at the beginning of the class period. Any assignments turned in late will be worth HALF credit unless you have an excused absence. Warm-Ups At the beginning of each class period, there will be a warm-up activity. You will get a weekly handout for recording your warm-up answers. You cannot turn in a warm-up on a separate paper. All the warm-ups for the week must be on the same handout, turned in every Friday. Rules 1) Follow all rules and procedures outlined in the student handbook 2) Treat teachers, fellow students, guest speakers, and property with respect 3) No food or drink in class expect for water 4) No cell phones or headphones will be used during class. If they are out, they will be confiscated. After your first offense, your cell phone will be turned in to administration 5) Sit in your assigned seat everyday Tardies/Sweep You are considered tardy if you are not in the classroom when the bell rings. If you are not in the room when the last bell rings, you will be sent to the sweep room. If you are swept when as assignment is due, you must turn in that assignment that day to receive full credit If you miss a test or quiz while you are in sweeps, you must come to my room right after school to make up that test or the grade will result in a zero It is your responsibility to get any notes or assignments that were given during the class that you missed. If you are swept more than 3 times, your make-up work will not be accepted and all missing assignments will be entered as zeros. The sweep-make up work procedures also apply to missing class for ISD or evening school Attendance If you are absent from school for any reason, make sure your parents call the attendance office at (480) 812-7703. Failure to call the attendance office within 24 hours of the absence will result in an unexcused absence. If your absence is unexcused, you will not be allowed to make-up any missed assignments, quizzes, or tests. Make-up Work You are responsible for all work you miss if you are not in class. I will not accept make-up work for full credit unless your absence was excused. You can get copies of missed class work and assignments from the make-up work folders.
