Parent Letter:

Welcome to the Trask Middle School Physical Education Department.

We are looking forward to a great year!

Our PE department strives to give opportunities for participation in a variety of team, individual, and recreational activities.  The development of and maintaining physical fitness will be stressed throughout our program.  The following policies are necessary for your child’s success in our program:

CHANGE OF CLOTHES:  Students must bring change of clothes (shirt, shorts, wind pants, sweat pants, proper shoes).  Athletic shoes are required.  Inappropriate footwear will result in a “0” for the day.

DRESS CODE:  We follow NHCS dress code. Students must be able to participate in all activities in clothing that stays within NHCS dress code. In addition, sneakers are required.

MEDICAL CONCERNS:  PE is required for all students by the state of NC.  If a student is to be excused from activity for a day, a parent’s note is required; and for multiple days, a doctor’s note is required.  Please advise your child to notify the teacher of any medical reasons requiring their activity to be limited at the beginning of class.  Students will not be excused from class without a note.

ASSESSMENTS:  Students will be graded on level of participation and health curriculum.

HEALTH:  Students will be taught by Coach Rivenbark on a 2 week rotating schedule.  Each student will need a pack of pencils and notebook to be used in the health room  in the Health classroom throughout the year.

SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTH:  Students have the opportunity to opt-in to Family Life Education. In addition all 6th graders will be getting Shifting Boundaries. Additional opportunities for community speakers may be available. 

Thank you for your support!  Let's make it a great year.
