Hello and Welcome Back to My Page!!
My name is Michael Penn and I am your student's physical education teacher. I have been in the BBOED for 19 years and it is still my pleasure to introduce sport and fitness to children of all ages and skill levels. I studied at High Point University where I received my bachelors degree in science and education. I am looking forward to a very healthy and prosperous year. The grading policy is as follows...Participation is 80%, (Which includes participation in the SGO testing sequence and Ed-Puzzle completion.) Preparedness is 10%, (which includes proper dress/footwear or to be more precice "sneakers." Although they are popular, "Croc's" and "Uggs"will not be allowed as they do not properly support the ankle during active play.) And, Character is 10%. Please be familiar with my classwork/written work grading policy. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me through Schoology or in Person at anytime!!! Also, please check the school website and our school's digital backpack often to keep up to date with important information!!
