Tips for PE Report Card Comments

Recommend daily physical activity outside of school as the actionable home strategy
Distinguish between skill development and fitness knowledge — both are graded in most PE curricula

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I write a comment for a student who is clearly unathletic but tries very hard?

Focus entirely on the effort, attitude, and growth: '[Name] brings exceptional effort and a consistently positive attitude to PE. [He/She/They] has shown real improvement in [specific skill] this semester and is a valued member of our class community.' Natural athleticism is never the point of PE — that comment is honest and appropriate.

A student is very athletic but a poor sport. How do I address that?

Address the sportsmanship directly and specifically: '[Name] is a physically talented and engaged student. This marking period, the focus is on sportsmanship — supporting teammates, responding positively to calls, and encouraging others. These are as central to physical education as athletic skill.' Name the expectation clearly; don't soften it.
