P.E.  GUIDELINES & EXPECTATIONS

A key element that contributes to a student’s success and essential safety in P.E. class is appropriate clothing and footwear. Clothing should be conducive to movement and the best athletic shoes should either have laces or velcro straps.

Please make sure your child dresses appropriately and wears appropriate shoes on his/her P.E. days. Students in physical education class are expected to run, jump, kick---move. With all of this movement sometimes shoes do come off people’s feet.

SAFE SHOES                                                            

Rubber -soled athletic shoes

Shoes should have ties, velcro, or at the very least zippers

All shoes should cover the heel of the foot                                           

UNSAFE SHOES

Clogs

Dress shoes

Sandals or flip flops

Open- toed shoes

In order to ensure a quality and safe learning environment in our  Physical Education classes, a set of guidelines and expectations have been developed for students to follow. Please help reinforce these guidelines with your child so we all can have a great year.

IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS WILL ALWAYS STRIVE TO:

• Work safely

• Be kind and respectful to others

• Take care of equipment

• Participate to the best of their ability

• Play fair

• Listen to others

• Be a good sport

R- Respectful toward each other and equipment

O- On task and safe behavior means more P. E. time

C- Cooperation is the key 

K- Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself

E- Enter and leave the gym in routine order

T- Try your very best at all times

S- Show good sportsmanship

Consequences to the violation of the rules:

A violation of the above rules gives  the student an “S”- a warning. After a second violation, the student receives an “I” and the third warrants a “T”.  SIT.  The student will sit out of the activity until they can verbalize to me that they are ready to learn and come back to the activity.. This is for one period of instruction. The letters are erased and the student starts over the next period. If constant rule breaking continues period after period, a note goes home with the rules listed. The parents are asked to review the rules, sign the sheet and their child can then come back to class.

Physical Fitness is a major component of physical education here at the Cedar Grove- Belgium Schools. The activities and the games we play are centered around physical fitness. It is not uncommon to have one PE day every two weeks that is designated as Fitness Day. We do administer Physical Fitness Tests in the fall and again in the spring . These are used to see if we as a school and as a district are doing the right thing.  We also can see where each student’s strengths and weaknesses might be.
