Physical Education
Good Sports Help Each Other!
Physical activity has been proven to increase learning ability, creativity, and reduce stress. It also offers unique opportunities for character development and social emotional growth.
The primary focus of physical education in Kindergarten through Fifth grade is to build coordination, develop motor skills, and build confidence and responsibility for lifelong health. Your child will participate in a variety of activities to build skills throughout the year. We will emphasize personal growth, best effort, sportsmanship, and fair play.
Your child is expected and encouraged to participate safely, positively and fully, and to behave in a respectful manner.
Following directions and handling equipment responsibly is essential to safe, fun fitness.
Please be sure your child has comfortable tennis shoes, and clothing that allows movement during PE.
*If your child should not participate due to injury or illness, please email us and have your child let us know at the beginning of class. Be sure to let us know what your child’s limitations or modifications are and when they will be able to participate fully again.
If you wish to share more information, please e-mail us and/or request an appointment to speak by phone.
