Dear Greenfield Parents and Students,

 

     Welcome to Greenfield Physical Education.   We are all happy to see everyone return to school and look forward to an exciting new year in PE.   We want all students to be successful as they grow and learn to become Physically Literate.   "Physical literacy is the ability, confidence, knowledge, and desire to be physically active for life."   

     As we begin our new school year, we would like to inform parents and students about our expectations for behavior, dressing out, participation, and grading. 


Behavior: 


Dressing Out:  While students are not required to change clothes for PE class, to maintain good hygiene, we do encourage them to change before and after PE in the locker rooms. Students should wear athletic shorts or yoga style pants, a T-shirt, and athletic shoes. Tank tops are not allowed. (The school dress code will be enforced). All students should bring a water bottle each day.  


Flip flops, sandals, boots, hard soled shoes, rain boots, and HEY DUDE type shoes are a safety hazard and students will not be allowed to participate if they wear these shoes. Please note:  The Greenfield School gym is not air conditioned and it gets extremely hot during the day.   We will utilize our outdoor grounds throughout the year as weather permits.  

 

Participation: 

All Students are expected to participate and give 100% effort each day.  We will focus on Sportsmanship, Fitness, Cooperative Games, Teamwork, Sport Specific Units and Skills. If a student is sick and needs to be excused, please email, or send a note. If a student needs to be excused for more than 3 days, a doctor's note will be required. 

 

Grading: 

Students will be graded on Instant Activity/Warm-ups, Fitness Concepts, and Sport/Game Units. Students must always wear athletic shoes to participate.  Points will be deducted from the grade when students do not participate.  

 

Thank You for being a part of our school as we strive to make everyday great!

 

Sincerely, 

 

The Greenfield PE Team
