Course Description: Students will be provided with a range of information from an introduction to physical fitness concepts and safety techniques to being exposed to a variety of physical fitness apparatuses to promote lifelong physical fitness. Each level will consist of days of cardiovascular fitness and skeletal fitness.

Dress Code: Freshmen will be required to wear the red Mundelein High School PE shirt that can be purchased from the school store for $5.00. Sophomores through juniors will be required to wear red, white, gray or black T-shirts and all students are required to wear red, white, gray or black shorts or pants. Shorts can be worn but must be appropriate length. Students are to wear socks and have properly tied shoes designed to be worn for running activities. Outerwear should be in the approved colors and be designed for gym activities in mind. No hats are allowed. No vulgar, suggestive, or inappropriate design may be on the clothing (i.e. drug, alcohol, sexual, etc.) Students not in appropriate attire will be deducted appropriate credit for that day which can result in grade reduction and or disciplinary action.

PE Make-ups: Students have two options to complete their make-ups. Option one is for students to report to the main gym during resource to complete a make-up. Please be aware that all excused absences (parent call-outs, doctor apts., etc) are to be made up. Each resource period is a 20 minute make-up. To make-up a missed 90 minute period, a student will need to complete TWO resource make-ups for a total of 40 minutes. Option two for students is to come dressed for physical activity before school starting at 5:30am but no later then 6:15am Monday-Friday and meet in the weight room. Students will complete a 40 minute workout which will make up a missed 90 minute period.  Only doctor approved notes excuse your son/daughter from class, which should be directed through the nurse’s office.
