PE Power! Coach Loughmiller, Coach Mojica and Coach Coleman are so excited about this year in PE and Health & Fitness. We will be on the move with lots of physical activities and games to build strength, flexibility and endurance. We will also practice safety, team building skills, good sportsmanship and learn about healthy habits.
*Healthy Family Photos - We are filling our Health & Fitness bulletin board with photos of students with their family as they participate in any type of physical activity together or cooking and eating healthy. Your child/children will receive a STAR buck if they send in a photo!
Please send an extra copy that you do not need back, thanks!
*Students in elementary grades engage in at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day or 135 minutes per week. Individual classroom teachers document this in their lesson plans. To encourage a higher level of safety, it is required that students wear tennis shoes in physical education class. If a student is not participating in PE for medical reasons or illness, a doctor’s note will be needed after 4 consecutive days of non-participation.
To follow the Frisco ISD guidelines from the elementary student handbook stated above please keep the following in mind:
IMPORTANT: PLEASE HAVE STUDENTS WEAR SNEAKERS ON DAYS THAT THEY HAVE PE! NO SANDALS, SLIDES OR CROCS!
*Please have your child wear or bring sneakers to school and properly dressed for physical activity on PE days. If your child does not have appropriate shoes he/she will not be able to participate in the activity planned and will have an alternative PE/Health related activity to do. Toms, Bobs, cleats,any type of sandals, BOOTS and FLIP FLOPS are definitely NOT SAFE! The shoe must be something you would wear to workout or play sports.
*Please send a note with your child to his/her classroom teacher and Coach Loughmiller if he/she cannot participate in recess and PE/Health & Fitness because of illness or injury. The classroom teacher needs to be aware of students who cannot participate in our classes because if a student cannot participate in PE class then they will not be able to participate in recess as well.
Please specify what he/she can/cannot do and why. A note/email from a parent is fine until after the 4th day and then a doctor’s note is needed to be able to sit out of the activity. If your child cannot participate then we will have nonphysical alternative PE/Health & Fitness related activity for him/her to do. Please talk to your child about how important Physical Education is because at times we get notes just because a student doesn't want to participate.
*If your child has asthma, Nurse Dunker has requested to please have an inhaler on hand in her office in case your child needs it, please email her with any questions at dunkerm@friscoisd.org. The coaches are aware of the students who have asthma or any other health situations if you have informed the school. Also if your child is having a rough day with his/her asthma, please send a note or email at dunkerm@friscoisd.org to let us know.
* When weather permits we will be going outside for PE throughout the year. We follow the FISD guidelines on temperatures/ozone alerts on when we are allowed to be outside.
Thank you for sharing your children with us.
