Coach Canche PE Syllabus

PHYSICAL EDUCATION SAN YSIDRO HIGH SCHOOL
Coach Canche’ – [email protected]
Dear parents/Guardians,
Your child is enrolled in Physical Education (PE). Research has demonstrated that there is a positive link between
physical activity and academic learning. The healthy and physically active child is likely to be academically motivated,
alert and successful. We believe that the standards proposed by the California Physical Education Framework and
Sweetwater Unified School District Physical Education Contents and Performance Standards will help develop students
who will:






Demonstrate competency in many movement forms and proficiency.
Apply movement concepts and principles to the learning and development of motor skills.
Achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.
Demonstrate responsible personal and social behaviors in context of physical activities.
Demonstrate understanding and respect for differences among people in the context of physical activity
settings.
Understand that physical activities provide opportunities for enjoyment, challenge, self expression and social
interaction (NASPE, 1995)
Physical Education Uniform Policy
This uniform policy is designed to provide consistency in the physical education department
which will help you if you change classes. It is also designed for your safety and hygiene for your
sake and the sake of others. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HALF NONSUIT!! YOU ARE
EITHER SUITED UP CORRECTLY OR YOU HAVE A NON SUIT. This is not open to debate.
Shirt- The shirt must be a T-Shirt, not a shirt with a collar. The shirt that they wear to PE must not be
the same shirt that they wear to class. The T-Shirt can be any San Ysidro shirt from a club or sports
team from SYHS, or the PE shirt purchased from the ASB. If your child does not have these shirts,
they can wear any plain white or gray T-Shirt with out logo’s from home that will have their full first
and last name printed on the shirt with a permanent marker. **no tank tops, spaghetti straps or Ashirts are allowed.
Shorts – The shorts must be either the one’s purchased from the ASB, or any plain blue, or black
shorts that have no belt loops and no denim shorts.
Sweatshirts – Must be blue or black a sweatshirt from a SY club or sports team. No zippered sweat
shirts or sweats with buttons are allowed.
Sweatpants – Must be either the sweatpants purchased from the ASB, or SY club or sports team, or
any plain blue or black or sweatpants.
Shoes – The shoes must be soft-soled athletic shoes/cross-trainers/running shoes that must be fastened
with shoe laces. No slip-ons, designer casual shoes , Velcro shoes or slippers are allowed.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
It is district policy that cell phones, IPads, IPods, any electrical devices be left at home or locked up in
the locker room. If these devices are brought to class and I see them, they will be confiscated. I will
not hold any devices for the students, for they should not be out in class. If they are lost or stolen, I
will not be responsible for the electronic devices.
CLASS PROCEDURES
Students will report to their numbers for the start of class. Students should be sitting on their numbers before the late
bell rings. If students are not sitting on their numbers before the late bell rings then they will be marked tardy and
citizenship will be lowered one letter grade. Students should not bring food, drinks or gum to the gymnasium or locker
room. All students will report to their assigned number outside behind the locker room for attendance. For safety
reasons, students are not allowed to wear hats, sunglasses, or jewelry during physical education class. Students who are
non-suited will take their backpacks with them to class and are not allowed in the locker room.
WE WILL SUIT UP EVERY DAY, UNLESS YOU ARE NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE- EVEN IF IT RAINS!!! –SO
DO NOT ASK!!!!!!!!!
LOCKER ROOM PROCEDURES
Students will be assigned a locker by a member of the PE department. Your locker will be a small locker to
store your PE clothes when you don’t have your PE class. The big lockers are to be used only when you
have PE, and a place to store your school books. The big lockers are to be used only when you have PE. PE
coaches will periodically before school or during nutrition and lunch cut locks off from any big lockers. Coaches
will not cut a lock off a locker for you if that locker is not assigned to you. Students are not allowed to share
locker’s each student must have their own locker and lock.
* There is no horseplay in the locker room at all or you will not be allowed to dress out. Guilty
parties will be given referrals to the assistant principals. Once you have dressed out in your PE
clothes you must exit to your roll call area. Students will have about 7-10 minutes to dress out
and report to their area.
* You should purchase a combination lock (Master), or a good one from the ASB or your
neighborhood store. Do not purchase a key lock due to the fact that the key gets lost and then it
has to be cut off.
 Do not share your locker with anyone, or give out your combination. Many times when
people share lockers, your clothes and lock ends up missing.

IF YOU ARE NOT SUITING UP FOR CLASS, DO NOT COME IN THE LOCKER
ROOM FOR ANY REASON.
MEDICAL EXCUSES
A parent or guardian must provide a note in the event that a student is unable to participate in class. If an illness
or an injury prevents a student from participation for more than 3 consecutive calendar days, a
physician who must be practicing in the United States must provide a written excuse. This note
must be presented to the nurse prior to coming to class. You will not be allowed to participate in any activity until
the DOCTER clears you for activity. Extended illnesses or injuries will be evaluated on an individual bases and
some resulting in alternative written assignments for the student. All missed days of participation must be made
up in order to receive credit for the class. If a student should become ill or injured during the school day then the
student should obtain a written excuse from the school clinic. Students need to inform the instructors of any
physical problems – asthma, diabetes, etc.—in order for there to be accommodations or special attentions made for
the students. Students should report any injury occurring during class immediately to the instructor during the
class when the injury occurred.
If you are well enough to be at school, you are well enough to participate in Physical Education. If you are too ill
to participate, you should stay home, not only for yourself, but for all the other students, teachers, and staff you
will come in contact with while you are ill.
** You must still be suited up even if you have a nurse’s excuse or a doctor’s excuse because you can still
participate in activities that do not require strenuous activity.
GRADING POLICY
New state laws have changed Physical Education dramatically. It is important for you to know the standards that
will have an impact upon what we do and what your grade will be.

I WILL GRADE ON THE FOLLOWING PERCENTAGES FOR SCHOLARSHIP
A = 100-90% - Do you clearly and consistently demonstrate the abilities and skills for each day?
B = 89-80% - Do you usually demonstrate the abilities and skills for each day?
C = 79-70% - Do you sometimes demonstrate the abilities and skills for each day?
D = 69-60% - Do you rarely demonstrate the abilities and skills for each day?
F = 59-0% - Do you never demonstrate the abilities and skills for each day?
Each grading period there is a total of 20 points for suiting up and participating each day and 1
point for each lap that is ran. If your child does not suit up or if they are absent then they will lose 20
points for the day and 1point for each lap that was not run for the day. They must not be disruptive
if not suited up for class. If your child suits up but does not participate in class, then they will
receive a Non-Participation for the day and they will lose 20 points. A Non-participation will cause
your grade to lose 20 pts for the day, and 2 Non-Participations will lower your citizenship grade to an
F for the Semester. There will be no make-ups for students who are a Non-suit and make-ups will be
offered to students who have a verified excused absence. Make ups will be written assignments.
Citizenship Grade: This grade is based on attendance, punctuality, following rules, being suited up
in the proper attire, respect for others and property, and listening to and following instructions. In
addition, every non suit will lower your citizenship grade 1 full letter grade.
A= 1 violation
B = 2 violations C = 3 violations D = 4 violations F = 5 violations
