Fall 2011 PE Logs can be found on the Symphonic Band blackboard page. Signed logs are due every Monday.
ISMPE, or “Indpendent Study Music PE”, is available to students who are enrolled in Wind Ensemble or Symphonic Band. Students selecting this option will be placed on a “5th Period” roster, in addition to their placement on the Symphonic Band roster. This roster is compiled by Mr. Wuertz during the first 3 days of each new term. The ISMPE course is graded on a Pass/Fail system. Students MUST complete weekly PE logs that include and/or exceed 400 minutes of physical activity (some weeks may have a different amount of required minutes). These must be signed and submitted in order to get credit for the course. 9th grade students are required to complete the physical fitness test that is administered each term (during the school day). 9th graders who take this course should align their workout plans with clear goals relating to state-wide as well as nationwide PE benchmark standards.
For specific information or questions regarding long-term academic planning, it is advised that students meet with their counselor.
Here are some helpful documents to guide the students as they prepare for the 9th grade physical fitness testing process:

The first physical fitness test will be held in January, 2011. The specific date has not yet been determined.
Here are the audio files for the Curl-Up and Sit-Up tests. Students are strongly advised to practice with these counters, as the test is administered with the same audio prompts.
