Course Description:

Fit for Life is a physical activity class that focuses on finding different ways to live a healthy and active lifestyle. We will explore a variety of fitness activities that you can utilize later on in your lifetime to remain active in an enjoyable way. Our goal this semester is to be active every day and have fun while doing it. 

Expectations:

Students are expected to attend class (virtually or face-to-face) each day, Monday-Friday. For their scheduled face-to-face day: students are expected to arrive to class on time, have on appropriate attire (sneakers/ athletic shoes & school appropriate clothing), participate in all activities, and follow all instructions and rules. For their virtual days: students are expected to log on to our Canvas page each day and complete the assignment(s) provided for that day. 

Grading: Student grades will be calculated based on a point system. Final grade will be the total points earned divided by total points available. 

Virtual: Students will be awarded points depending on the completion and quality of the given assignment. Points will vary based on the difficulty of the assignment. Assignments and instructions for each will be posted on our class Canvas page. Each assignment should be completed in full and turned in on time. Failure to do so will result in point deduction. 

In-person: Students are expected to arrive on time, dress out, participate/ give full effort in all activities, follow instructions and demonstrate good sportsmanship in order to receive full points each day. Failure to do so will result in point deduction. A doctor’s note is required if you are not able to participate in activity. If one is provided, the note will be honored and students will be provided with an alternative assignment to complete to earn their daily points. Unexcused absences will also result in point deduction. 

(Sneakers/ athletic shoes are required in order to receive points for dressing out. Due to locker rooms being closed, students will participate in the clothing worn to school. School dress code applies for clothing.)
