Dear Panther Families,
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! The Physical Education department has been hard at work designing a curriculum to best suit your child’s needs, even under the difficult circumstances created by COVID-19. We will be engaging in activities such as swimming, fundamental movements, games utilizing cooperation and good sportsmanship, and a lot of cardio based activities. This year, lead-up sports will be secondary to our true fitness goals, but we plan to incorporate them, as able, considering contact, minimal shared equipment and spatial safety needs.
To ensure the safety of your child and his/her ability to participate in our program, we are requiring the following attire:
Physical Education:
Sneakers-with rubber soles and laces/Velcro (No crocs, please)
T-shirt and shorts (Grades N-3)
P.E. uniform shirt (Grades 4-6)-Students may either wear his/her uniform shirt to school, or change at snack or lunch, depending on daily class schedules. Students may choose his/her own shorts or athletic pants, understanding that they may not have snaps and zippers for safety reasons. Comfort, a good fit for high performance (not too loose or too tight) and adequate coverage for all of our activities should be the standard for choosing shorts or athletic pants.
Water jug
Caps are helpful and encouraged for sun protection.
Swimming:
Swimsuit
Change of clothes (quick and easy for changing, not snug or a lot of buttons)
Towel
*Sandals with heel straps are helpful but not required
*Goggles are helpful but not required
In the event of an illness or injury that does not allow your child to participate, a note from you will ensure an excused absence. If the illness or injury requires an extended period without participation, a note from a doctor will be required. Please feel free to contact us during the year with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Jacob Anderson-Grades N-6 janderson@ghcds.org
