Welcome Letter

Dear Parents/Guardians,

It is such a pleasure to welcome all of the students back to school this year. My name is Ms. Jones and I look forward to having your child in PE this year. Each class will have three days of PE per week in Grades K-5.

The goal of Physical Education at CODE Academy is to teach students to develop healthy living habits that will last a lifetime. We accomplish that by having students participate in a wide variety of activities, sports, technology, and challenges that will increase their physical, social, and mental abilities, as well as teamwork and cooperation skills. We will provide a safe, fun, and motivating class that will encourage all students to want to participate, have fun and try their best. Our learning modules and lessons will focus on throwing and catching, movement, fitness, striking, and cooperative and lifetime activities.

Here are some things that will help make PE as fun and SAFE as possible this year:

1. Everyone MUST wear sneakers for safety on their PE days!!!

2. Girls should wear shorts under dresses if they have PE that day.

3. If a student has a medical condition or injury, please send a note/medical excuse.

4. If student is missing more than 3 PE classes (one week) a Doctors note is required!

5. No big jewelry is allowed during PE for safety reasons.

Assessing

Students will be assessed in the areas of skill performance/content taught, and appropriate behavior and safety in class. I continuously set clear expectations for the students for each class in helping them succeed to become lifelong movers! I am looking forward to a great year here at CODE Academy. If you ever have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at school, stop by, or email me at kelly.jones@polk-fl.net

Sincerely,

Kelly Jones (Physical Education Teacher)
