for graduation. This requires a high school student to demonstrate proficiency
in one individual/dual sport and competency in at least two other team
sports or activities.

of fitness and conditioning activities.

To provide a program for the temporarily and permanently physically
challenged students, which gives the student an understanding of his/her
limitations and emphasizing his/her potential.

General Expectations:

Fairfax County Grading Scale:

C = 79-74 D+ = 73-70 D = 69-64 F = 63 & Below
Although report card grades appear as letters, we will use numerical
grades each nine weeks. Each student is encouraged to talk with his/her
instructor concerning the numerical grade.
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES/TARDIES: Consistent with Lee High School
policy, three (3) unexcused absences constitutes automatic failure for
the quarter. Two (2) unexcused tardies will equal one (1) unexcused
absence.
CLASS EXCUSES:
A note from the parent/guardian or family doctor is required
to excuse a student from any class participation.
The note should state the date, name of student, the condition limiting
his/her participation and the activity. Students with written excuses
limiting physical activities will be required to dress out.
Notes must be brought the day of the non-participation. Students will
not be excused after the fact. If the student is too ill to participate,
they should notify the teacher and the teacher will send the student
to the clinic. If a student is to be excused more than three (3) days
in succession, a doctor’s referral is to state what activities
the student cannot participate in. Students with a temporary or permanent
medical problem that will require selected activities should obtain
an adapted physical education form from the guidance counselor.
UNIFORMS:
Uniforms are required for students in Physical Education 9 and 10, and
all weight training classes. Only the PE uniform is acceptable,
no other Lancer clothing. Five non-dresses in a quarter
will constitute an automatic failure!

LOCKS AND LOCKERS:
Each student is required to purchase a master combination lock
to use on his/her assigned locker. Students should lock all belongings
in a locker during class. Students should refrain from bringing valuables
to school, particularly to Physical Education. Jewelry is especially
dangerous during activities and presents opportunities for theft, if
removed during class. It is the student's responsibility to secure their
clothing and other items in a locker with a lock. Students are not permitted
to share lockers for security purposes. Key locks are not acceptable!!
CITIZENSHIP:
All students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is
characteristic of a good citizen.

be made aware or any other pertinent information? If so, please either
