COURSE OVERVIEW Weight training class is an active participation class where you will be able to design an exercise program for yourself. We will demonstrate the use of the weight machines and all other equipment available. You will do a pre-test and a post-test to assess your fitness levels.

DRESS You are required to dress in appropriate gym clothes for this class: blue shorts (no pockets), white shirt, socks and gym shoes (deck shoes and hiking boots are not proper gym shoes). Your first and last name must be visible on the FRONT of the shirt. If your undergarments can be seen you are in violation of the dress code.

You may not wear the same clothes for weight training that you wear for your other classes. We have loaner clothes if by chance you choose not to bring your own.

Hygiene care is very important. Keep all valuables in your school locker, do not bring them to class.

ATTENDANCE You should be in class on time each and every day. If a student is absent they may make up the day missed, after school on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday from 2:30 to 3:00. The student must contact the teacher to make up for what was missed. All work must be made up by the end of the term.

TARDY POLICY The classroom door will be closed when the bell rings. Any student not in the room will be need to go to the ISS room before being allowed into class.

PARTICIPATION This class is mostly participation. The student is expected to behave in a manner that does not interfere with others trying to participate. You will also be graded on wearing the proper physical education clothes.
