Student, Parents, Guardians,

​

Wearing the correct footwear to gym class is essential to your students experience.  It's my number 1 priority to make sure that students are safe in my classroom and I can only ensure that if the correct footwear is being worn from the beginning of class.  Students who wear incorrect shoes to gym class may be asked to sit and watch the days activities.  For example: if we are doing a soccer unit and a student is wearing an opened toe shoe, then they will watch for that day.  

If you are unsure of what day your student has PE, please reference the specials calendar that is linked on the website.  If you cannot find it, please send me an email and I will send you a copy. 

* No Crocs, dress shoes, flip flops, sandals, winter boots, hiking boots or slip on shoes of any type.
