PE OPTIONS GRADING
Students will earn their grade in PE Options based on their performance in the following
three categories:
1. Daily Grade (6 points per day)
The daily grade will be based on the following:
- Following class rules as listed. 1 – 5 points deducted depending on the
infraction.

We will have skills testing in PE for every unit. This grade is NOT based on
how well a student can perform a specific skill. This grade is based on
whether or not a student has demonstrated a basic knowledge of the skill. (All
skills will be demonstrated and practiced prior to any formal evaluation.)
