    WELCOME
     
     My 9-10th grade PE classes are swimming starting on January 9. Please help to remind your child to be prepared for swim class. At this level, we will be playing games in the pool. On Fridays, students will be asked to complete a 10 lap swim for fitness.
     Welcome
     All students discussed the PE expectation sheet on the first day of class. I have posted the expectation sheet below.  If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail. 
     
    Please help to remind students in grades K-4 to wear sneakers each day they have Physical Education. Students in grades 5-12 need to have a change of clothes as well as sneakers.
