Absences:
Students absent (except school based absences - ie. field trips, athletic events, band festivals etc.) will receive an incomplete mark for the day. Upon return to PE class, a note must be given to their teacher from a parent/guardian with a valid reason for the absence and the parent's name and phone number. If a student is away for a community sport activity, an activity log is to be signed by a coach/parent and the PARTICIPATION portion of the class will be omitted. If there was a FITNESS/KNOWLEDGE/MOVEMENT portion missed, the student will be responsible for making up this portion during The PE Department's make-up classes. Students are strongly encouraged to make up missed classes within TWO weeks of their initial absence.
- To receive a mark for the day, the student will be required to make up the missed class during a PE Department make-up class. These days and times will be posted shortly.
- It is likely that five lates and/or absences (excused or unexcused) in a reporting period could result in an incomplete standing (I) unless the Prescribed Learning Outcomes have been met. Students will be referred to the Counsellor and/or Administration.
Walk, Jog, Run Fitness Program:
Every Monday and Thursday, all PE students are involved in our department's WALK, JOG, RUN program. Students participate to the best of their abilities in their group of choice and complete the
8-12 minute work out. Students are encouraged to move up at least one level throughout the semester. Usually the walk, jog, run program starts at the beginning of class but if the weather is poor, we often complete it at the end of the block. Please encourage your son/daughter and inquire about their progress.

Valuables: LOCK IT OR LOSE IT!
PE students are asked to bring a lock to class each and every day so their belongings are secure. Having said that, cell phones, wallets, etc. should not be brought into the PE facility - they should be left in the student's main locker. Students are permitted to use lockers on a daily class to class basis but due to the shortage of lockers and availability, locks will be cut off if they are on overnight. Students are frequently reminded and given sufficient notice to take their locks off. Any belongings left in lockers can be found in the LOST and FOUND at the front of the school. After a time period, the items are donated to charity.
