PE

Hello Parents,

This year, we are motivating our students to become more active. We regularly have PE on Thursdays and Fridays. In order for students to be more accountable for their success, they will be graded on their participation and their effort. We have recently had a high number of students choosing to not want to participate due to various issues. Please read the following instructions and guidelines:

1. We expect all students to participate. If your child is unable to participate for that day due to a medical issue, please send in a signed letter/note explaining the issue. Without a letter, we are assuming that your child looked healthy enough to participate for that day. We spoke with our students about knowing when to stop if they are pushing too hard.

2. All students need to bring PE clothes. We have had various instances where students were not able to participate because they had the wrong shoes on or long sleeves. Students should have a plain white T-shirt or white SRA T-shirt, blue athletic shorts of appropriate length, and athletic shoes. If your child does not currently have these items, please have them the week we return from Thanksgiving break. If you are having any problems getting these items, feel free to email me and I would be happy to help out.

3. Every PE day is worth a maximum of 10 points. The points are based on participation and dress. If your child is absent on a PE day, it will not be counted against them.

Thank you for your help parents. Our goal is to have happy and healthy kids! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Have a great day.
