GRADING:

Dressing out and Participation
You must be dressed out and participating EVERY day.  Missing class for any reason (absence, field trip, etc.) will count as not dressed.

Each missed dressing out (absence or not dressed out) will be –5 points.  You will get 1 free no dress each 9 weeks. All other missed MUST BE MADE UP.   If you do not dress out, but participate (must have sneakers on), it will be -3 instead of -5 (you must participate in ALL activities for the day).  2 points will be deducted for inappropriate shoes (not wearing sneakers).  There will be 3 make-up days each 9 weeks.  A student must be dressed out to participate in a make up day.  The make up days will be held at the track.  Each lap that is walked or run will be a +1 point on the dress out and participation grade.  Make up days will be from 3:15-3:45 on the days announced.

A note from a doctor does not excuse a student from dressing out.  The activity will be modified as per the doctor’s recommendations.  A note from a parent or guardian will be handled in the same manner.
