Experience:

This is my twenty second year of teaching Physical Education.

Slocomb Middle School 2019-2020

• Students must participate in all activities.  A sport related report or worksheet must be completed daily for each day the student cannot participate.  Parent notes are accepted for up to three days.  Excessive parent notes will require a doctor’s excuse.  More than three days will require a doctor’s note to the physical education teacher. Word of mouth is not acceptable.

Grading:

50% Skill Development (Dress/Participation)

Gym/Locker Room Guidelines & Expectations:

• Dressing out is MANDATORY.  If a student is sick, they are still required to dress out.
• Students who are sick or injured are allowed to bring a parent note for up to 3 class days. A doctor's note will be required after 3 days.
• If a student feels they are injured or hurt in any way, they must tell a PE teacher IMMEDIATELY.
• If a student is having problems with another student in PE, tell the PE teacher IMMEDIATELY.
• Food, drinks, candy/gum will NOT be allowed in the gym, and will be disposed of immediately if seen.
• Be prepared -- always bring your PE clothes and athletic shoes to class. 
• No earrings, necklaces, rings or bracelets allowed.  This is for the safety of all students.
• Students will be allowed time to dress out. Failure to be in your assigned spot at the designated time will result in consequences. 
• Students will be expected to use the time allotted in the locker room to dress out/ re-dressing.

• HORSEPLAY or any other such activities in the locker room will NOT be tolerated.

• Phones, Smartwatches, Chromebooks or other electronic devices will not be allowed at any time! These devices should be locked up in the student’s hallway locker.
• PHONES ARE NOT TO BE OUT IN THE LOCKER ROOM AT ANY TIME. PICTURES & VIDEO (INCLUDING Snapchat, FaceTime, etc.) MAY NOT BE TAKEN AT ANYTIME DURING THE PE PERIOD, TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF OTHER STUDENTS. THIS WILL LEAD TO OFFICE REFERRALS & POSSIBLE FURTHER DISCIPLINARY MEASURES.
