Miss Goetz Grading Procedures You are given 10 points every day you come to PE If you are Tardy you lose 1 point, if it becomes an issue I will talk to you and if the behavior doesn’t change you will begin to lose 2 points for every tardy If you are not dressed in appropriate clothing (see previous slides) you will lose 5 points (the most you could get that day would be a 6/10…. That’s a “D”) Step forms – loss of points IF YOU TRY YOUR BEST YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANY POINTS!  - laziness will hurt your grade! “Trying your best”, meaning you have a good attitude and participate…

Grading continued When we occasionally have homework assignments, tests, etc., they will be added into an additional points category. You will be well aware of when assignments and tests will be…. Don’t lose sleep over this If you bring your phone to PE you’ll be asked to put it away and you’ll lose points

After getting dressed we will get in our “squads” so I can take roll quickly If not sitting in your spot when class starts you'll be tardy and will lose points

Other business If I have a substitute teacher – ALWAYS be respectful to them. If a substitute leaves your name for a bad reason I will be calling your parents. I would love to have guests from the community to teach new games, activities, etc. If you have family or family friends that are yoga instructors, Pilates, Zumba, etc etc etc please let me know I’d LOVE to arrange for them to come!!

Thank you!!! If you have any Questions please come talk to Miss Goetz  I AM NOT HERE AFTER 11:25 – I will try to be here by 8 every day, that is when a time to talk to me would be. “To do anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.” – Steve Prefontaine
