Welcome to Mr. Reynoso's page!

I am very excited to be starting my 8th year at Kennedy Middle School.  I teach 7th and 8th grade Physical Education, my goal is to inspire all of my students to see the benefits in taking a concern for their health and activity levels.  I recieved my Bachelors in Kinesiology from San Deigo State and moved back home to teach and pursue my Master's in Education.  I have taught all levels of PE from K-2, to high school and I really enjoy the middle school students.  I enjoy being active with my family during my off time, hikes, travel, basketball, and basically anything outside.  Thanks for visiting and Go Cougars!!

DRESS CODE

Students are required to wear Kennedy’s physical education t-shirt and black shorts or sweats.  Students are expected to wear athletic shoes. Students should NOT wear jeans, leggings or jeggings.  Open toed shoes, sandals and boots are prohibited and will result in the student losing participation points.   Hats and beanies should not be worn inside the locker room.

LOCKER ROOM

CELL PHONES ARE STRICTLY PROHIBTED IN THE LOCKER ROOM. CELL PHONES WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CONFISCATED AND BE HELD IN THE OFFICE UNTIL A PARENT OR GUARDIAN CAN PICK IT UP. All students will be issued a locker.   All valuables including cell phones should be locked in the assigned locker during class. Students are encouraged to buy locks through Kennedy as the PE teachers can open these locks as necessary.  Kennedy is not responsible for lost or stolen items in the locker rooms. Deodorant must be roll-on. Deodorant SPRAY is not allowed.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

All PE students are expected to attend class regularly and remain in the designated P.E. area until the teacher releases the student to the next class. Students with an illness of 3 days or less, shall bring a note from home to the teacher at the beginning of class. Students with an illness or injury of more than 3 days shall bring a note from a doctor. This note is to be presented to the teacher at the beginning of class.

WATER BOTTLE

It is expected that each student bring a water bottle to class.  This water bottle should be clearly labeled with the student’s name.  The water bottle can be a store bought reusable bottle or a regular water bottle.

DAILY GRADE

The majority of the student’s grade comes from daily participation in class activity.   A student earns 10 points each day for fully participating in class. For each unexcused absence, the student loses 10 points.  For each class that the student is not participating or causes disruptive behavior, the student may lose up to 10 points.

SEMESTER GRADE

A student's grade is based upon the accumulation of overall participation points, skill points, and life skill points.  The student receives a grade and a percentage for each grading period. The semester grade consists of adding the points earned for the grading period and dividing it by the total possible points.

A student’s grade consists of 60% participation, 20% skill, and 20% life skills.  Life skills include sportsmanship, attitude in class and properly prepared for physical fitness.

Percentage Breakdown for Grading Units and Semester Grades:

A =   90% -100%

B =   80% - 89%

C =   70%-79%

D =   60%-69%

Fail = 59% and below
