Physical Education
On physical education days,  students are asked to wear sneakers to class.
They may bring them from home and  change if necessary.
The following are NOT  considered sneakers: slip-ons, hiking boots, sneaker style shoes with heels or  platform sneakers.
Also keep in mind, the new  style of oversize baggy jeans and shorts with no belts and jeans that drag on  the floor are also a concern in Physical Education. When a child runs, his pants  (without a belt) start to slide, limiting his leg movement.  At the same  time, the student must reach down to hold them up, which leaves him/her with one  hand to protect them from falling or to use during an activity. Pants dragging  on the ground cause an obviously unsafe situation.
We also feel jewelry  (earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, watches) can cause an unsafe environment  for your child as well as others. Jewelry tends to disappear in the gymnasium.   If your child has recently gotten pierced ears, have them notify us and we will  take precautions to ensure his/her safety until the earrings can be taken out.
This coming  year as in the past, we will be starting our units with Football, Soccer,  Locomotors Skills/Body Awareness and the Presidential Physical Fitness Test.
IF YOUR CHILD HAS AN INHALER ENSURE THAT IT IS  PLACED IN THE HEALTH OFFICE.
