HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Dear Parents and Students,
We at JCCHS have always felt that education and the development of the individual is multifaceted and of primary importance. Physical education and health education is vital parts of the total program. Our purpose is to help each student develop and maintain a high degree of physical fitness, acquire skills with lifetime “carryover” values and desirable health practices. In order to conduct the most effective program, we have prepared this letter to let you know what we as a department require.
UNIFORM POLICY
All students need the following to be properly prepared for class:
- A JCCHS physical education uniform that can be purchased from your physical education teacher at the beginning of school. The cost is $24.00 – please make check payable to JCCHS and include the student ID number on the check.
- Tennis shoes, athletic socks, towel, soap and deodorant in an unbreakable container.
GRADING SYSTEM
Participation and Dressing Out: This grade is determined by how well the student accepts the responsibility of dressing out and participating in each day’s activities. Students must be dressed in the proper attire in order to participate.
A point system is used for each nine week period. Points can be lost on a daily basis as follows:
5 points – improper gym wear/non dress
10 points – unexcused non-participation
LOCKERS AND BASKETS
- A basket, locker and lock are assigned to each student for his/her uniform, shoes, purse, wallet etc. At $5.00 fee will be charged to a student if he/she loses his/her lock.
- Each student is responsible for the security of his/her locker, basket and possessions.
ABSENTEE POLICY AND MEDICAL EXCUSES
For a student to be excused from dressing out or participating because of illness, the student must have a note explaining the reason and signed by a parent or guardian. The student will be required to do some type of modified participation or written assignment for that day. A note from the parent may excuse students fro his/her class for two days; thereafter, a Physician’s statement is required.
NON DRESS POLICY
Every student is required to dress out and participate every day. Failure to dress out is considered refusal to cooperate with the teacher and will result in loss of points.
We, the professionals who make up the Health and Physical Education Department at JCCHS, are proud of the program we offer. If any of you, parents or students, have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to call us. We are here to help you prepare for tomorrow!
Thank you.
