MIDLAND PARK HIGH SCHOOL
PHYSICAL EDUCATION GRADING POLICY
75 % Participation, 25 % Preparedness
- 3 categories of behavior are assessed daily. ( 5 POINT DAILY VALUE)
- 1 POINT = on time & ready for class (sitting in squad spots)
- 1 POINT = active participation in warm ups
- 0 – 3 POINTS = active participation, engagement in skill development, and demonstration of appropriate social behaviors
The majority of a student’s grade is derived from their daily active participation in the classroom setting. For this reason, students need to actively participate in all class activities to earn credit towards the performance portion of their grade. In order to participate, students need to be dressed appropriately for physical activity, including athletic clothing and footwear. Students can then maximize their daily grade through active participation, engagement in skill development, and demonstration of appropriate social behaviors (respect, sportsmanship, etc.).
