Dear Parents
We have started our
gymnastics unit in our regularly scheduled Physical Education classes. This unit
will run until the end of January. Safety procedures are being carefully
covered with each class. While students in elementary school are not expected
to change their clothing for gym, I do talk to them about being dressed in
preparation to participate. Please consider the following when sending your
child to school:
• Clothing that
allows freedom of movement (no special uniforms or outfits are required – sweats
and a t-shirt work best).
• Loose fitting/baggy
clothing may get caught on equipment when climbing.
• Tucking shirts in
may help to prevent an accident.
• All jewelry that
could get caught on equipment should be removed (left in classrooms or left at
home). e.g. watches, rings, necklaces, etc...
• Students with long
hair should have their hair tied back. Tying hair back with elastics is
recommended.
• Students may wear
shorts under clothing if they wish.
• Students will
participate in bare feet unless there is a medical reason (warts).
Please be aware that
students have Phys. Ed class each day. Students will be reminded that they must
remain very quiet while participating on the climbing equipment. Sudden noises
could startle a student using the equipment and result in a fall.
Should you have any
questions, please feel free to email me. Thank you in advance for your
understanding in helping to ensure the safety of our students.
Sincerely,
Helen Hennick
