Welcome Letter
SOARING INTO A HEALTHY SCHOOL YEAR
Dear Parent or Guardian,
I would like to welcome you back from a very active summer! During this school year I will bring many opportunities for physical activity and healthy choices through Physical Education.
As in other academic areas, your child will receive a grade in my class. Students will be assessed on their personal and social behavior in guidance with the St. Mary’s County Public Schools Physical Education curriculum, as they progress through a variety of skills. Please help your child come prepared for class by wearing clothes that are easy to move in and a pair of sneakers. Participation will be limited if a student is not appropriately prepared for activity due to safety reasons.
Various sport skills, movement concepts, nutrition, health fitness topics and team building activities will be explored throughout my curriculum. I look forward to creating a positive learning environment for your child along with fostering a partnership with you to help your child continue to make healthy choices.
Wishing you a year full of health and fitness,
Rachel Blakely
