Hello Bulldogs, 

My name is Coach Thompson and this is my first year teaching and coaching here at Aaron Cohn. This year I will be coaching Football, Basketball, and Boys Track. I am eager about working with the students, parents, and staff. Come on out and support! 

Physical Education Syllabus

Physical Education is a participation class. This means that without an excuse from a doctor or a note from a parent, a student is expected to dress out and participate every day. Parent notes are only good for (3) days. If a student is unable to participate for longer than 3 days, a doctor’s excuse must be presented to the teacher. The doctor‘s excuse should state the nature of the illness or injury and what activities the student can or can’t do.

Procedures:

• Students must respect others and their property
• NO CELL PHONE USE IN THE GYM DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. Cell phones must remain locked up in the locked up in the locker room during class.
• Follow directions the first time they are given.
• Dressing out is defined as wearing different clothes than the ones worn to school. Clothing suitable for dressing out is athletic shoes, t-shirt, shorts (acceptable in length), or sweats. Shorts must be worn over yoga pants and spandex.
• Consequences for not dressing out:

1^st offense- Verbal Warning

2^nd offense- Physical Education Modification

3^rd offense- Notification to Parents (e-mail or phone)

4^th offense- AAA Detention

5^th offense- Office referral ISSP

• Locker room doors will be locked (3) minutes after the last student enters the locker room.
• Lock up all valuables (clothes, purses, and jewelry). This is the student’s responsibility!
• No gum, candy, or food in the locker room, gym, or athletic field.
• No running or horseplay in the locker room or gym.
• Do not touch any equipment unless given permission.

Grading Policies

A student’s grade will be lowered for failure to dress out or failure to participate in assigned activities. Students may be given written and skills test. Please remember that grades are not given they are earned.
