Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to
the 2009-10 school year. Attached to this letter you will find a copy of the
new grading system for Physical Education.The first class or two of the school year will be spent communicating
this new grading system to the students.I want to take this opportunity to inform you of this new grading
system.
The system
is in rubric form.There are six
categories listed in the first column (five for the whole year and two for only
October and May-term 1 & 4).The
students have the opportunity to earn 4, 3, 2 or 1 points for each of the
categories.You will notice that there
is description of what needs to be observed, completed or achieved for a
student to reach a certain point level.At the bottom of the rubric there are definitions for the terms listed
in the rubric.At the end of the unit or
month I will assign a point value for each category based on observations,
assessments and achievements.I will
transfer this score to the appropriate place listed on the report card.
My hope is
that this will provide the students with specific criteria in order to be
successful in Physical Education class.This information will also be on the school website and will be
presented at the open house night for Physical Education.Stay tuned for dates and times for open house
nights.If you have any questions,
please contact me by phone 508-798-8576.
Sincerely,
Bill Sullivan, M.Ed.
