GRADING

It is easy to get a good mark in physical education class as each student is graded on effort.  As long as the student works hard at every facet of the class, his/her grade will stay high.

Each student will be graded for each unit completed.  Two thirds of the grade will come from effort in the activity units (basketball, dance, badminton, etc.) and the other third will come from the fitness (stretching and running at the start of hour) portion of the class.

Failing to change clothes (usually by forgetting gym clothes) can have a negative effect on the student grade.  If a student forgets gym clothes, HMS always has clean gym clothes in various sizes on hand that the student can borrow for the hour.  If the student forgets their clothes once or twice during the trimester, it is usually ignored.  But if the forgetfullness becomes a habit, a grade reduction will occur.
