Rocky Run's Physical Education program provides the opportunity for all students to engage in activities that will further his/her physical, social, emotional, and mental development. It is our goal to help each student increase their level of fitness and skill through a variety of physical and health related activities. Students will engage in activities while attaining knowledge of rules and skills needed for individual and team related sports, with an emphasis on lifetime fitness.
All students are required to participate and must be dressed in the required uniform: Rocky Run shorts, Rocky Run shirt, socks, and athletic shoes that fasten (no slip-ons, boots, sandals, platforms, etc.). Students are encouraged to keep a pair oet). Loaner uniforms are available through your P.E. teacher and must be signed out and returned clean. Agenda points will be taken for students who check out loaner uniforms more than once per week.
All students purchasing a uniform should have their checks written to Rocky Run Middle School for the exact amount. If paying by cash, please have the exact amount.
Uniform prices are subject to change.
Grading in both the seventh and eighth grade will be based on Affective, Cognitive, Skill and Fitness assessments. The P.E. Department uses the 100% grading scale.
| Grade | Affective | Cognititve | Skill | Fitness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th | 50% | 20% | 15% | 15% |
| 7th | 20% | 10% | 40% | 30% |
All 7th and 8th grade students will receive the equivalent of one quarter of Health with a Health specialist.
The following steps will be taken by the physical education staff for discipline procedures:
All students are required to dress out everyday. However, physical or health related problems may hinder full participation and performance. Therefore it is very important that all health related problems are brought to the teachers concern. A note from home should be given to the P.E. teacher explaining the students' limitations. Students who need to be excused for longer than three days need a doctor's note. This note should state what a student can or cannot do, along with the date a student can return to full participation. Alternate activities will be provided on an individual basis, and all students are responsible for missed work.
