Physical Education News • We are looking forward to working with your child in
physical education. Our goal is to provide a positive learning experience while developing the mind and body through physical activity.
• Safety is a primary concern, so we ask that your child wear or bring tennis shoes or wear enclosed flat rubber soled shoes on physical education days. No Crocs, sandals, wheelies, or flip flops are allowed. Our classes are outside (weather permitting), so children should be dressed appropriate for the weather. Please be sure your child wears shorts under a dress/skirt. Children are also encouraged and permitted to bring water bottles (with names on them).
• Our PE days Tuesday and Thursday. Wear tennis shoes!
Physical Education News • If your child is to be excused from participation due to
illness or injury, they will need a parent note. If they are to be excused for more than three days, a doctor’s note is required according to district policy. Please advise your child to give all notes to their homeroom teacher or the school nurse. Also, if a child has a note and is excused from PE they are not allowed to participate in recess.

consequences ranging from being pulled from the activity for a period of time, signing the penalty book, a note home, a phone call or email to parents, or a visit to the AP/Principal’s office.
