Physical Education Requirements and Guidelines
Our Philosophy: Physical Education at Our Lady of Lourdes High School will provide a welcoming environment for students at all skill levels. Our objective as physical educators is to provide all students with the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve and maintain a healthy level of physical fitness. Through a variety of activities including team sports, individual sports, and lifetime activities, students of all skill levels will be given the opportunity to be successful in Physical Education.
FACT: One of every two people are likely to die prematurely from preventable cardiovascular disease or preventable cancer. The major contributors are Lack of Physical Activity and Excess Weight. The percentage of overweight adolescents in our country has increased from 5% in 1980 to 17.1% in 2006!

1. Students will report to the appropriate locker rooms to change for class.
If a student is late to class, that student must possess a pass.
2. Students will be allowed to keep their clothing in the P.E. lockers to house their clothing but must remove
their clothing at the end of the period. Students MUST use a lock to secure their school clothes and all
valuables. Locks will be purchased in school during the book sale or during the first day of class. Locks
are $6 each. Failure to remove their clothing at the end of the period will result in the lock being cut off.
It is recommended that students bring a small athletic bag with your gym clothes and sneakers to store
in your daily school locker during the day and bring it down to the gym locker room for class along with
your lock. At the end of class, your gym bag must be returned to your school locker.
3. Appropriate clothing for participation:
A. NO SNEAKERS = 0 POINTS FOR THE DAY. Sneakers with laces tied.
You may not participate without sneakers. Athletic sneakers only. NO EXCEPTIONS!
B. Lourdes shorts or sweatpants, shirt or sweatshirt, and athletic socks.
C. No jewelry worn during participation. Wearing jewelry poses a safety hazard.
D. Points are lost for not wearing proper uniform in class.
No school uniforms are allowed to be worn under the P .E. uniform.
No other clothes are acceptable. Team uniforms and Jersey’s are not acceptable
4. Students will be allowed four (4) minutes at the beginning and five (5) minutes at the end of the period
to change their clothing. All students must remain in class until dismissed by their teacher.
5. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of the period in the gymnasium
(4 minutes after the late bell to start class). If a student enters the gymnasium after attendance
has been taken, it is the responsibility of the student to report to their teacher with an admit pass.
Upon re-entry to school after an absence, students are responsible to show a readmit pass to
their teacher.
6. Students unprepared for class are to report to their teacher immediately prior to the bell signaling
the beginning of the class. Those students will remain in class for the duration of the period.
7. Two units of physical education are required for graduation.
Students receive a ˝ credit each school year.
8. Failure (overall grade under 65) for the year must be made up in summer school.
9. The criteria for your numerical grade will be based on the following:
A. Participation: 40% B. Preparation: 20% C. Test: 20% D. Skills Assessment: 20%
A. Participation - A student’s daily participation grade will be based on a four point scale. Please refer to
the grading rubric. This category accounts for 40% of your grade for the quarter.
B. Preparation (Preparedness) -A student who is in full compliance of the uniform policy will receive full
credit (4 points) for the class period. For example, if a student forgets a pair of shorts/sweatpants and
shirt/sweatshirt, he will lose two (2) points. Note: NO SHOES – ZERO PREPARATION. If a student
does not have the proper athletic shoes, the student will not be able to participate in the assigned activity
and will receive no credit for preparation and not be allowed to participate in that days activities. At the
conclusion of the unit, the number of points earned will be divided by the total possible points earned.
This category accounts for 20% of your grade for the quarter.
C. Knowledge Test -The student will be tested on the rules of the game and class rules on the activity.
The test will be based on unit notes. This category accounts for 20% of your grade for the quarter.
D. Skills Assessment – Physical Education is a skill based class. Skill assessment will be evaluated
using authentic assessment based on the New York State Physical Education Profile. During the
different sports units, several skills will be assessed based upon the students grade level. The skills
will be introduced by the teacher. A rubric will be used to assess the given skills. The students will be
responsible for practicing, improving, and using the assigned skill.
This category will account for 20% of your grade for the quarter.
10. MAKE-UP WORK:
Those excused for medical reasons will have activity modified to allow them to participate or
a written assignment will be given. The student is responsible for every gym class in a quarter.
Failure to participate due to a doctor’s note will require the following:
A. If excused for one day -If a student is excused from home or through the school nurse, a note must be
given to the school nurse before school and the student will be excused from participation. As a result,
the student must hand in a WRITTEN summary of a health or fitness article. For this assignment, the
student must select and read an article found on the school website (www.ollchs.org). Then, the
student must write a hand written two page essay on the article providing both a summary and critique.
The essay should include who, what, where, when, and how in the paper. The article is due BY THE
FIRST GYM CLASS AFTER THEIR RETURN. Any student who fails to turn in their
assignment will lose credit for the class missed.
B. If excused for extended period -The student must write a paper on the activity they are missing. For
example, if you are missing the volleyball unit, you need to write a 6-8 page (HAND WRITTEN) essay on
the history of the game, as well as all other relative information regarding the sport. Assignment is due by
the last day of the unit (just prior to the end of the quarter). The student will receive a numerical grade
based on the quality of the paper. Failure to hand in the assignment will result in a zero.
NOTE: If the student is out for an extended period, but not the entire quarter, the student has the option of
writing the essay or handing in one article for each class missed. IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT
PARTICIPATE THE ENTIRE QUARTER, YOUR GRADE IS BASED 50% ON THE KNOWLEDGE TEST
AND 50% ON THE PAPER.
11. No student is allowed to bring in books during gym class, unless the student is on medical excuse.
There are no drinks or food allowed in the gymnasium! Any inappropriate behavior or failure to comply
with the above requirements and guidelines can result in detention or demerits.
