Students must wear soft -soled shoes with ties or velcro straps and flat soles to participate in physical education class (please no slip-ons, boots or sandals). Students will not be able to participate if the proper footwear is not worn. Children are encouraged to be responsible and bring sneakers if they are wearing boots the day of class.
If your child needs to be excused from an activity for one class period, please send a note to the physical education teacher.
If your child's activity level needs to be restricted or limited please send a note to the nurse's office. Excuses for more than one week require a doctor's statement

Understanding Your Child's Fitness and Motor Skill Progress Report
|
|
Your student is expected to demonstrate:
- Age appropriate fitness
- Age appropriate motor skills
To assess your child's progress in these areas several formal standardized and informal subjective tests are given throughout the school year. Fitness tests are typically administered in the fall and repeated in the spring. The Presidential Challenge Physical Fitness Assessment is a snapshot at a specific time in your child's development. Parents are encouraged to look at their student's progress and improvement over time.
