Oakwood Physical Education
For 5th grade PE, your child will be graded as follows:
· The P.A.C. (participation, attitude, conduct) grade will be their only Academic Achievement grade and counts for 67% of their overall grade. The P.A.C. grade loses 5 points for every time he/she signs “the book”.
· Students will lose points for wearing inappropriate shoes, talking during instruction, being disrespectful, not following directions, not completing or participating in activities, being tardy to class.
· All other grades, such as fitness tests, unit skill tests, health grades, Run For Your Life, or day participation grades, fall under Academic Practice and count for 33% of their overall grade.
· For SAFETY reasons, your child will be limited in the amount of participation allowed without proper footwear in PHYSICAL EDUCATION class. Proper footwear includes tennis-type shoes—those with an arched sole and cover the entire foot. Crocs, clogs, sandals, flip flops, dress shoes, skating shoes, Sperry’s or boat shoes, boot-like shoes and any heeled shoes are not appropriate for PHYSICAL EDUCATION class.

To help your child be successful this year, we ask that you please be aware of the following guidelines:
- If your child needs to be excused from PHYSICAL EDUCATION activities, please write, e-mail, or call and leave us a message as to why your child cannot participate in class. Remember that it is our goal for the children to be ACTIVE during class and experience a variety of activities, so please make sure you are not writing a note for your child just because he/she does not want to participate in a particular activity.
- If your doctor limits PHYSICAL EDUCATION participation, please ask him/her to be specific as to the amount of activity or certain activities your child can/cannot do as well as a date(s) when they are able to participate.
