Beck’s Physical Education

Physical Education plays a unique and significant role in education. It deals holistically with students. Its activities affect their health and promote physical and mental development. In addition, it is of social importance. Physical Education is one of the main agents societies use to express cultural identity, to express emotions and to initiate youths to the rules and laws that govern societies.

The Beck Middle School Physical Education program addresses this role by integrating the following elements into all activities:

Just as students need a their books and notebooks for most of their classes, students also need to dress appropriately for Physical Education class. While every attempt will be made to encourage students to prepare for Physical Education class, the following steps will be taken when students are unprepared. This process clears to start anew each marking period.

Each time a student is unprepared for class, the student is required to participate as best he/she can with alternative learning experience. This can come in the form of a written assignment or some participatory function such as score-keeping, refereeing, or other responsibility.

Ø A parent/guardian note will be accepted to excuse a student from P.E. class (short term only).

Initiative Effort: Any student can make up points by participating after school in a physical activity, which will be monitored by a Physical Education teacher. Teachers will provide these opportunities regularly.

It is our responsibility to provide instruction. It is your responsibility to work to the best of your ability. You will have many opportunities for self-assessment as well as several teachers' assessment of your progress during the year.
