HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL
Physical Education Department

Dear Students/Parents/Guardians,

We believe that Physical Education/Weight Training is an integral part of the total education process.
Our program relates to lifetime activities, which can be carried over into their adult life and assist the individual
in further development: physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. We believe our program will
challenge each student to reach his/her highest potential and allow opportunities for success and enjoyment.

Hamilton Appropriate Use of Technology

The Governing Board intends that technological resources provided by the district be used in a safe responsible
and proper manner in support of the instructional program and for the advancement of student learning.  It is
the policy of the Chandler Unified School District to maintain an environment that promotes, ethical and
responsible conduct in all electronic resource activities by staff and students.  The District reserves the right to
monitor use of the District’s systems for improper use without warning or prior consent.  Students shall be
informed that computer files and electronic communications, including email, are not private and may be
accessed by the District at any time.  Inappropriate use may result in disciplinary action and/or legal action in
accordance with the law and Board policy.  Please visit the student handbook
at https://www.cusd80.com/handbooks  for further details about appropriate use of technology. 

Hamilton Virtual Attendance Statement

Attendance is based on engagement.  If a student is not present for synchronous instruction and does not
complete the asynchronous/alternative assignment for the daily class meeting, then the student is considered
absent.  Teachers will contact attendance clerks once a student is determined to be absent.

tolerated.
*No gum, food, or soda drinks allowed in the locker room – water is acceptable
*Musical devices/cell phones are not allowed in class/locker room and may be confiscated. Staff is not
responsible for lost or stolen items.
Partial dress will not be accepted – results in a NON-Dress and loss of points

LOCKS/LOCKERS: will be assigned to each student who is in P.E. class. Students are responsible for their assigned
lock. If assigned lock becomes lost or stolen at any point during the school year, the student is responsible to
purchase another school lock from the bookstore. Students are not allowed to use personal locks. Students need
to keep their combinations confidential. Large lockers are to be used during P.E. class time only - items left in big
lockers at the end of the day will be removed and stored until claimed by owner.

GRADING POLICY: All students will have the opportunity to earn an “A”. The students will be graded so that 80%
of their grade is based on participation and 20% is under teacher’s discretion (i.e. skills or written tests, quizzes,
notebook, timed mile, etc.). Each unit is approximately 4 ½ weeks.
Students can receive up to 50 points per week. The teacher will remove points if the student is tardy, has poor or
no participation, poor attitude, uses foul language, does not dress out for class and/or has an absence. Since P. E. is
a participation class, all absences will affect a student’s grade if the absence is not made up. Make up assignments
will be up to the discretion of each individual teacher.
