PHYSICAL EDUCATION INFORMATION


Dear Parents,

Welcome to the 2011-2012  school year at St. Raphael. Physical education is scheduled once a week for all Kindergarten through
sixth grade classes. Seventh grade has PE twice a week first semester and once a week second semester. Eighth graders once a week first semester and twice a week second semester.

All students will need to wear a PE uniform, This uniform consists of burgundy shorts, gray PE tee shirt, socks, and athletic shoes (preferable tie shoes)to class. School shoes are NOT to be worn for PE. Grading for students is as follows: 1 point for proper gym clothing, 1 point for positive attitude, 1 point for display of good sportsmanship, and 2 points for participation and effort. If they forget PE clothing and have on athletic shoes, I will allow them to participate so they can earn 2 of their 5 points for the class period. 

Please keep me informed of medical circumstances that impede your child's regular PE participation. Students who have to miss Physical Education because of a medical reason need to have a brief note from a parent or guardian. If your child is to be out of Physical Education longer than one week, then a doctor's note is required stating for how long.
