The points earned for the quarter will determine a student’s grade. Points will be earned for proper dress and for class participation. Dress points will be determined as follows:
  • 0 days missed for dress = 100 points
  • 1 days missed for dress = 90 points
  • 2 days missed for dress = 80 points
  • 3 days missed for dress = 70 points
  • 4 days missed for dress = 60 points
  • 5 days missed for dress = *** FAILURE FOR THE QUARTER ***
A maximum of 5 points will be earned each class period if a student:
  • Participates to the best level of his/her ability.
  • Shows good sportsmanship.
  • Follows directions and class rules.
  • Treats equipment with care in the proper manner
A maximum of 5 points will be lost each class period if a student:
  • Performs unsafe act(s).
  • Shows poor sportsmanship.
  • Uses profanity.
  • Breaks game rules or expectations intentionally.
  • Argues with others.
  • Is tardy to class.
A maximum of 3 points will be earned each class period if a student exerts reduced effort during an activity.

0 points will be earned each class period if a student:

  • Has an unexcused absence.
  • Is being in subordinate
  • Is fighting
  • Destroys school property
  • Is not excused and not participating.


Any student with an excused absence from school or excuse from class participation will be required to make-up the points to get credit for class(es) missed. The students will be able to gain points for the quarter through written and/or skill tests. A written summary of any sports article (relating to the current lesson plan) from a newspaper or magazine will earn 5 points. The summary should be at least -6-8 sentences in length and include a copy of the article. A sports article taken off the Internet must be at least one page in length about an activity we have done in class in the past week. This article must also include a 6-8 sentence summary and a copy of the article. The student will earn 5 points. The student may also gain points by running laps around the basketball court in the main gym after class has been dismissed to dress. Two laps will be worth one point. Make up points must be completed by Friday of the week following that in which they were missed to get credit. If you are out sick or have a planned absence, you know what needs to be done to make up for missed points. It will be the responsibility of the student to earn required points. Every student in the class can earn a good grade by participating each day and making up points for missed classes.
