K-2nd Grade P.E. Letter to Parents

Dear Parents,

Welcome to K-2 Physical Education.  This year your child will experience many different ways to move and play.  Help us have a safe time in P.E.  Please have your child wear tennis shoes and socks on P.E. days.  (This means an athletic type shoe instead of boots, sandals or dress shoes.)  Also, please have girls wear shorts or tights under their jumpers for modesty. 

If for any reason your child should not participate in P.E., please write a note and have him/her take it to the Nurses' Office before school.  Please understand the school policy states that children who are out of P.E. will also sit at recess throughout the day in order for them to recover more quickly.  Please refer to the Student Handbook page 19.

Children are encouraged to bring a water bottle with plain water to P.E. class all year long; (not a sports drink or "fitness" water).  Please write their name and room number on the bottle with permanent marker.  Students will have the opportunity to get drinks before and after class, however, there is not time during the period to use the drinking fountain.  Note: students may not share their water bottles.  Bottles will be taken away if misused. 

Grades will be given to K, 1st and 2nd grade students based on:

  *Conduct      *Ability to follow directions          *Effort

 I look forward to working with your child this year.

 Sincerely,

Mrs. Gustafson

Mrs. "G" in K-2 P.E.
