Welcome to Physical Education MNS 290

Welcome to PE at PS 290

Dear Families,

​

Our goal in Physical Education is for everyone to learn to make healthy choices and feel successful when participating in a variety of activities. This enables students to develop a positive attitude towards physical activity and develop healthy habits, which will hopefully continue throughout their lives.

​

Students will be encouraged to have fun and enjoy PE.  They will also be encouraged to participate to the best of their ability in a wide variety of activities.  At the elementary level, certain skills are taught so that students will be able to pursue competitive sports as well as lifetime sports.  
 
Your child will have PE once or twice a week and sneakers are required in class.  Appropriate shoes must have a non marking rubber sole and cover the entire foot.  If sandals, open back shoes, high heel shoes or leather soled boots are worn to school, the student must bring appropriate shoes for PE. They will be allowed to change before class begins  Cleats and Roller shoes are not allowed in PE class.  Shoelaces must be laced snugly and tied on top of the shoe.  If your child does not have appropriate shoes they will not be allowed to participate that day.

*****If your child has any physical disabilities, please let us know.  Problems such as chronic asthma, allergies, heart problems, diabetes, etc. need to be documented and kept in our files in the PE office.  Prior knowledge will help us to monitor your child closely and correct or alleviate any issues that may arise. The safety of every child is our number one priority during Physical Education.
 
Should any questions, concerns, or issues come up please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email (Allow 24 hours for a response). I am looking forward to another fabulous and fun year here at PS 290.
 
Thank you,

Tommy LaPierre
