=**FHS PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT POLICIES & PROCEDURES **=

**__Attendance Policy__ : **
==== Students will report to the designated area near the gym and are expected to be sitting in a specific spot for attendance by the time the bell stops ringing. Failure to be sitting at that time will cause you to be marked tardy. The Franklin High School Tardy Policy will be enforced. ====

**__Participation and Dress Policy__ : **
==== You are required to be dressed in the appropriate clothes for activity, each and every day. Required clothing includes: athletic shoes (no hiking boots, sandals or deck shoes), athletic shorts/pants (cutoffs are not allowed), T-shirt (no tank tops or shirts that promote negative ideas ie. alcohol, tobacco, sex.) and socks. As the weather becomes cooler, students may wear warmer clothing. You may not wear the same clothes that you wore to school. Students must supply their own towels if he/she would like to shower. ====

**__ Excused Absences __** :
==== A student who has an **excused** absence is able to make that day up during his/her Resource Period at the start of the school day. An excused absence is any absence that has been verified through the School Office (**note:** Field Trips/Athletic Contests are considered an excused absence that needs to be made up). Each student is allowed one (1) parental excuse from class each quarter. This will excuse the student from class that day, but he/she will still need to make up that day before the end of the quarter. The note from the parent must have the parent’s signature, give the reason for the student’s inability to participate, and needs to be given to the teacher the **day of** the absence. ====

**__ Physical Education Make-Up __** :
==== Any student who needs to make up a day of Physical Education class may do so during his/her Resource Period at the start of the school day. Because of the length of time, **two (2) Resource Periods will be equivalent to one (1) block period of Physical Education Make-Up.** Please see your teacher for further information regarding Physical Education Make-Ups. ====

Physical Education Make-Up will take place during the Resource Period every Monday - Wednesday. Wednesday is the designated day for students who need to make up any classes missed during the Swim Unit in the pool. Students should report directly to the Physical Education Office to check in rather than reporting to your Resource Teacher. The Phy Ed Teacher who is in charge of Make-Up will email your Resource Teacher at the end of the period. ====__**Injury Make Up:**__ Students who are out of class due to injury for an extended period of time will still be required to make up time that is missed. Depending on the length of inactivity, the student should speak to their teacher to work out how much time needs to be made up. ====

**__Locks and Lockers:__**
==== Students will be issued a lock to use while enrolled in Physical Education. Any lost locks will be charged to the student ($5.00). Small lockers will be assigned to store clothing / equipment overnight. Large lockers are to be used only during the class period. Be sure to **lock** your locker during class and when class is over! ====

3. Skills Tests/Playing Grade: 10%
