Physical Education Parent Letter

Plum Creek

Physical Education Department

Dear Parent /Guardian,

I would like to welcome you and your child to our campus.  I am excited about being able to work with your child in the areas of Fitness and Health. 

During the 2009 – 2010 school year your child will be introduced to many fun activities and learning experiences in the area of physical and health education.  These activities will help them become more aware of the importance of being physically fit and healthy.  Due to the State of Texas putting an emphasis on the need to decrease child obesity, I feel that we need to do our part to help.  Along with learning how to be active in fun ways, your child will also be introduced to the importance of a healthy diet. Some activities will be sent home for you and your child to do together.  This is a perfect time for you as a parent to show your support in the importance of your child learning to live a healthy lifestyle. 

Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle with them to P.E. Students should label the bottle with their first and last name.

Each child needs to wear appropriate shoes to PE.  I recommend they wear tennis shoes.  This is for their safety and the protection of their feet.

I know there will be times that your child will need to sit out during P.E. due to illness or injury. A note from a parent will be required if a student should need to sit out for any reason. Without a note, a child will be expected to participate. A doctor’s note is required if a child needs to sit out for more than three consecutive days. 

If your child has any limitations in the area of physical education that I need to be aware of please send a letter back with the information written on it as soon as possible and a way to contact you if I have any further questions.

Thank you,

Lenaya Smith (398-0616)
