Physical Education Department

We want your child to have a great year in physical education in our school this year.  We believe that you want your child to do his/her very best.  You can help your child by providing them with clothes and shoes appropriate for lively outdoor or indoor activities on their P.E. days.   

            Tennis shoes or other athletic shoes are must for your child’s safety.   Students will NOT have the opportunity to change clothes, so play clothes should be worn to school so that they can get the most out of their physical education program.  Your child will receive a grade in physical education based on: effort, attitude, appropriate dress, participation, and skills.

            There is a great concern about lack of physical fitness for our youth today.  We would like for you to encourage your child to maintain a healthy diet and active leisure time.  In fact, participating in physical activity with your child is great for you and your child!  LET’S GET FIT!

WE NEED TO KNOW IF YOUR CHILD HAS ANY HEALTH PROBLEMS WHICH MAY RESTRICT OR LIMIT HIS/ HER ACTIVITY.   If there is a problem, please explain the limitations and return this letter to the physical education teacher.
