Students should always wear running shoes and pants/shorts to school on PE days. Pants/shorts may be worn under dresses. Grass stains and dampness are typical occurrences when participating in various activities. Hoodies and sweaters are appropriate during cool days. Select types of brimmed hats may be appropriate on sunny days. If you have any questions, please call the school office.
I am committed to provide my K-6 students with a standards-based curriculum that supports the goals of improved physical, social, and mental development, and encourages a life-long interest in health, fitness, and recreational activities. Much of my curriculum comes from SPARK. SPARK stands for Sports, Play, and Active Recreation for Kids. Activities are inclusive, highly active, and fun.
Physical Education is a required class. Students may not Opt-Out from participating. Modified physical education participation can be implemented for students with a "medical" condition.
Students with a short-term (<3 days) "medical" condition MUST present a dated and signed note from a parent listing the medical symptoms and parent wishes.
Students with a long-term (>3 days) "medical" condition MUST present a dated and signed DOCTOR's note which states the restrictions, limitations, and duration of restrictions.
We can MODIFY PE activities to meet most doctor restrictions.
Students are graded on PARTICIPATION and EFFORT. Students are expected to participate in ALL activities. Students are expected to give their BEST effort in meeting the California Standards for Physical Education.
ONLY RUNNING SHOES, TENNIS SHOES, BASKETBALL SHOES ARE ALLOWED!
School Policy: Closed shoes are to be worn at all times for health and safety reasons. Sandals, flip-flops, soft plastic shoes (such as crocs), or other open-toed shoes are not permitted. Please ensure students are wearing sneakers on P.E. days. The responsibility for the proper attire of all students attending the Bellflower Unified School District rests with parents/guardians. The principal or designee shall make the determination whether or not the student is violating the school dress code. Parents/guardians will be notified. Violators of this policy shall be subjected to school and/or district discipline procedures, including suspension and expulsion.
