PHYSICAL EDUCATION

PHILOSOPHY

The physical education program is designed to help meet physical and recreational needs of freshmen and sophomore students. The program focuses on present and future physical and recreational needs of students.

It is the goal of the physical education department at Salesianum that, through participation, each student will develop knowledge, understanding, and attitudes, which will result in desirable practices necessary to maintain physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and mental health.

room. They will shower and remain in the area until the bell rings. Students are

reminded to bring a towel.

EVALUATION

Students will be graded on the “pass” or “fail” system of evaluation. Daily effort, attitude, participation, and preparedness are the factors determining each student’s grade.

A student with two or more unexcused days of not being prepared to participate is subject to immediate failure for that marking period. A student who receives a grade of “M’ for medical reasons faces no danger of failing provided he has a legitimate doctors excuse for not participating.
