PARENTS WRITTEN REQUEST FOR NON-DRESS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Parents are requested to contact Coach Bailey by phone/e-mail prior to the start of class.Every effort will be made to have every student dress down and participate every day. If available, we will offer clean PE clothing for the student to use on a temporary basis. Students that refuse to dress down will have a conference with their teacher and will contact a guardian/parent. If the student still refuses to dress down he/she is subject to the following discipline options exercised at Coach Bailey’s discretion. • Participation in school clothes, Garbage patrol, weight room cleanup, janitor assistant, administration referral*. Students will be allowed 3 doctor excused absences with no penalty. After three, the student is responsible to make up participation points for each additional day they are absent or cannot participate.

1. Attendance will be taken 7 minutes after the tardy bell rings.

2. Students need to be in their assigned area for attendance or they will be marked absent/tardy.

4. Students will remain in the locker room until the dismissal bell rings.

ABSENCE MAKE-UP:

You have one week from your absence to turn in a make-up assignment posted on Coach Bailey’s website. Example, If you miss Wednesday, you have until the following Wednesday to submit your make-up assignment. After one week I will not accept the assignment. If you have an extended illness/injury (more than one week) please contact Coach Bailey to discuss a reasonable make-up due date. It is your responsibly to talk to Coach Bailey if you need more than one week to make-up your absences. If a conversation is not held, make-up work will be expected one week from the first day you return to class for all missed dates.

Personal Statement and other items (optional)

As a Fitness and Wellness instructor, I believe every student is entitled to a quality, positive learning experience and atmosphere in their fitness and wellness class. Students will be provided with a basic understanding of exercise and how cardiovascular conditioning can occur. Students will become aware of their own bodies responses during exercise and develop an understanding of what exercises to avoid and why.
To make sure each student has a positive experience, they must be in class and participate. There are several regulations, rules, and policies that each student will need to adhere to so I can provide every student their opportunity and right to learn in a positive and safe environment. I will provide sessions where the students can improve their overall fitness level and have fun doing it.
