Dear Parent/Guardian,
NAME: ___________________

I
am your child’s Physical Education teacher and I am looking forward to
working with your child in our brand new PE program. I have over 10 years of
experience working with youth in diverse communities.

PHYSICAL
EDUCATION is a subdiscipline of Kinesiology, the
science of human movement, which applies principles of physics, physiology,
sociology, and psychology to learning about and participating in various
physical activities. The state of California
has a framework and content standards for all subjects and PE is no exception.
As a result, all students in PE will be expected to gain competency in
performing physical skills, develop the knowledge based, and social and
affective characteristics to promote healthy and active lifestyles.

Required Materials: PE uniform, combination lock (NO KEYS), 3-fastener
folder.

ALL
PE students will regularly be assigned and required to complete academic
assignments, including homework, both written and physical. Homework
assignments will require approximately 60 minutes per week. Each student must have a 3-fastener folder,
paper, and pen/pencil to be used for PE only.

Due
to healthy hygiene, students are required to have specific attire for physical
education: CMS uniform or plain
(no logos) royal blue shorts and plain
gray t-shirt, laced shoes, socks, and no jewelry (earrings, watches, etc.). On
cold days, students will be permitted to wear plain sweat pants and/or sweatshirts. All PE clothes must have the students name
printed on them. Loaner clothes may
be available, however, students wearing loaners will
not earn full credit for that particular day.

We
pride ourselves on promoting self-responsibility,
therefore, students are expected to come to class prepared with all required
materials. All students will be expected to have all required materials and
begin dressing out by 1/19/06.

The department grading
policy is as follows:

30% Movement Skills
– development of motor skills and movement patterns in a given activity

or
sport.

25% Social –
teamwork, cooperation, personal responsibility, character development and

participation.

25% Cardiovascular
Fitness – participation in cardiovascular activities and reaching target

heart
rate zone during participation.

20% Knowledge
– written assignments, quizzes, tests, and homework.

If you have any questions or
concerns feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Mr. Delgado/Mr. Perez
