Dear CES Families,

I am very excited to continue working with your family to promote healthy lifestyle activities! Students will learn ways to stay healthy and engaged in a safe environment. I want share additional information below that will help your child get off to a terrific start.

Please have your child wear comfortable gym shoes on PE days. It is very difficult and unsafe to participate in dress shoes, boots, sandals, flip flops or crocs.

If your daughter wears a dress or skirt, please encourage her to wear shorts underneath for comfort and convenience.

Please send a note if your child is sick on a PE day. This note is helpful so that I can have an adult version of what is occurring. If a doctor writes an excuse, please ask for specific restrictions which might allow for an adapted version of an activity.

All students need to exhibit cooperative behavior, move under control, and use equipment properly. As a former middle and high school coach, I always looked for players who were respectful toward others, even in competitive situations.

Students are encouraged to stay active outside of school. This may include riding a bike, hiking, swimming, walking the dog, or playing on an team when possible.

Sincerely,

Jeff Stuart
