August 31 - September 4

Welcome back!  

Let's Make it a great 2015-2016 school year!!


For the first week of class the students will not be changing their clothes in Mr. Wartella's Physical Education class.  On day #1, students will learn the rules & regulations of  the class and will be put into their seating squads.  Due to construction issues with the school, the locker rooms are not ready yet and therefore, students will not have a place to change into their PE clothes.  Students will only need sneakers and will take part in moderate activities in the gymnasium or go on walks at the track. Next week, students will start their first unit which is the 1 Mile timed unit and cardiovascular endurance unit at the track.  Like every unit, the 1 Mile timed unit will last about 3 weeks and students will take part in walking and jogging activities at the track to help improve their cardiovascular endurance.  


     All activities in physical education are designed to keep students engaged in fitness activities that promote a healthy lifestyle and life-long participation. 

(IF THE WEATHER DOESN'T PERMIT OR THE IS NOT ENOUGH GYM SPACE FOR A GIVEN ACTIVTY, STUDENTS WILL TAKE PART IN AlLTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES IN THE GYMNASIUM SUCH AS BASKETBALL, WALKING, BADMINTON, DODGEBALL ETC.)


Each class is worth roughly 13 points:   Change of clothes = 2 points, Warm-Up =4 points, and Participation = 7 points 

PE GRADES ARE BASED ON PARTICIPATION.  STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ENGAGED IN ACTIVITY.  SIMPLY JUST CHANGING YOUR CLOTHES DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FULL CREDIT!!!!!!!

Missed classes are counted as zeros, so make sure classes are being made up!
