Any school sponsored activity that requires students to miss class will not be counted as an absence, nor will they be required to make-up this missed class.

P.E. MAKE-UPS WILL BE OFFERED TO STUDENTS AS FOLLOWS:

* The first 3 weeks of each quarter, (Tuesday Afternoons Only) starting at 3:20 p.m.
* The second 3 weeks of each quarter, Tuesday morning starting at 7:30 a.m. and
Tuesday afternoon starting at 3:20 p.m.
* The last 3 weeks of each quarter make-ups will be offered three times per week.
Tuesdays at 7:30 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. and Thursdays at 3:20 p.m.

An anticipated extended absence may be made up prior to the absence, ex. - vacation, hunting trip, etc. Students must pass freshman P.E. classes for graduation. A student failing to pass freshman P.E. must repeat and pass the class before they can advance to the elective program.

Students may take more than one elective P.E. class if cleared through their counselor and the P.E. department.

Credit received in P.E. is issued upon completion of one semester. ½ credit is given per semester completed.

Girls only are issued a lock and a basket. Locks should not be left on long lockers when not in class. Personal locks will be cut off.

We are not responsible for lost or stolen articles. Please do not bring money or valuables into the locker rooms.

Attendance and Participation

The physical education department will follow the same attendance and tardy policies as Thurston High School in regards to parent notification. Each of you has started this semester with an "A", and you will be the sole determinant of your final grade according to the previous grading scale.

Non-Participation

A student must participation class on a daily basis. Failure to do so will result in a non-participation deduction. If you are ill or too injured to participate, the nurse must have a note from your parents or doctor stating this fact. The only excuse not affecting your grade is a medical excuse from a doctor. Nurse's note will excuse you from that day's activity for a maximum of 3 days but you will be responsible for making up the class you missed.

After lengthy illness/injury (2-3weeks) the student will receive a grade based on the physical education teacher and counselor's recommendation.
