Dear Parents,

Welcome to our Physical Education program.  We are very pleased to have your child participating in our P.E. classes . Our program presents a variety of activities that teach fitness, basic skills, rhythms and dance, and sports that are appropriate for each grade level.

A balance between fitness activities and skill teaching is maintained throughout the school year. We know that a well-planned P.E. program will result not only in physical fitness, but also in a more positive self-image, more desirable social behavior, and the joy of feeling healthy. Your child will also realize the positive impact good health has on life.

By following the safety standards, expectations, and class rules found below,  your child will have an enjoyable  P.E. experience.
