Mission Statement: The mission of Physical Education is to empower all students to sustain regular, lifelong physical activity as a foundation for a healthy, productive and fulfilling life.

**The Weekly A/B calendar link is posted under Assignments.  Click on the calendar if you're not sure if you have P.E. class that day. You will have class two/three times per week depending on the weekly A/B schedule** 

If you have any questions feel free to contact me by e-mail during the office hours listed above.  I will try to answer any questions or concerns.  Feel free to contact me by email any other time.  This is just the time that we have set aside specifically each week for you.    

Physical Education Guidelines

Wear athletic shoes every day!  You are encouraged to bring a water bottle!  No one will be  allowed to enter the locker rooms. You will not be dressing out. Please wear clothes to school you can exercise in according to the school dress code. You will not be required to wear your mask while exercising. Unfortunately, we will not be able to share equipment which limits many of the activities we can do.  Work to get strong and healthy!

DAILY CLASS EXPECTATIONS

1.  Look for an announcement every other day, letting you know class expectations for your day.

2.  Live sessions for P.E. class will use Microsoft Teams as our learning platform.  I have teams specific to each P.E. block, P.E. A-Day and P.E. B-day.  I usually begin my session at 1:30 p.m.  This gives me time to get face-to-face students settled and ready for class to begin.  P.E. live sessions are posted on the Canvas calendar.  Click on the correct date and link to join.  Live sessions last about fifteen to thirty minutes, occasionally longer.  Then they move on to complete the Canvas assignment for the day.

**MS Teams:  Some students are still having trouble accessing MS Teams.  They are getting the error message that "only people with access to the organization can join the meeting.  If you have an account log in..."  Under that message is a button "Dismiss".  To get to Teams, have students click the "Dismiss" button, then a log in screen will appear.  Students should enter their log in credentials without "students." For example:  456776@ucps.k12.nc.us.  Next, they should enter their password, and then they should be able to get to your meeting.  

3.  Fill out the, Rowell's Daily Attendance, form each time you attend class (FOUND UNDER THE ASSIGNMENTS SECTION, SECOND LINK) 

4.  Log into Canvas and attend live session, then:  

a.  Remote learning:  Go to, ASSIGNMENTS, and click on appropriate assignment for that day.  The assignment should take no more than thirty minutes to complete and submit.  Most will be due that same day.  Check your Canvas calendar to make sure they are completed and submitted on time.   If you do not attend the live session, then complete the Calisthenics and Cardio section, as well. 

 b.  Face-to-face sessions:  We will focus on items that need more visual or hands-on practice. 

You will have access to Canvas assignments each week beginning on Monday.
Make sure you check all Canvas Announcements on your assigned A/B class day and be sure to check your Canvas Calendar daily.  

Canvas: The majority of assignments will be submitted on our "learning platform," Canvas.  Assignments can be submitted a variety of ways including, uploading files, typing into text boxes, and sharing Google documents/presentations.  Students not having used Canvas before should alert the teacher and they will be shown how to submit assignments on Canvas.  Individual assignments will indicate which method of submission on Canvas is expected.  If students need a refresher or have questions, they can access the Canvas Student GuideLinks to an external site. for specific instructions.  It is the student's responsibility to ensure assignments are submitted on time and to contact the instructor if there is a problem.  The Canvas Learning Platform logs every student log-in on Canvas which provides teachers with a list of when students log-in to Canvas using their user id.          

Grades 

*Face-to-face/Remote students can earn up to 10 points for each day of physical education class.    Face-to face will lose 5 of their 10 points for not coming dressed for the activity on their day of P.E. class.  Then 5 weekly points for the submission of the weekly exercise log.       

+5 points:  Assignment completion in Canvas

+5 points:  Completion of Calisthenics/Cardio warm-up section during live session or before the assignment for their P.E. day   

*Grades will be updated weekly in Power School.
*All assignments that are graded will indicate this in Assignments AND the assignments will be listed for the week in Power School.
*It is very important to abide by due dates on Canvas.  

Late Work
If a student completes an assignment late (after I have entered it in Power School), he or she must email me to let me know which assignment has been completed so I will know to go look for that assignment.  Below is the Late Work Policy going forward:

·         All work for a week is due by end of day Sunday following its assignment

·         Credit for work turned in the following week will receive 75% credit at the most

·         Credit for work turned in later will receive 50% credit

Attendance
Attendance will be taken each period, each day.  
I will take attendance each day based on your Canvas participation and completion of my daily attendance sheet.
