P.E. PARENT LETTER

August 23, 2010

Dear Parent and/or Guardian,

I will be instructing your child this year in Physical Education. My goal is to present curricula that are enriching and motivating to all students at all fitness levels and abilities. Students can learn to make good lifetime health and fitness choices. Please check out my web pages on the school’s website @ www.205warren.net. Physical Education is a part of the total school curriculum, which uniquely focuses on the physical development of the child, while also addressing the emotional, intellectual and social needs of the child.

I need your permission to take your child off campus to Warren’s Parks. We will be using this facility for various team activities. There will be separate permission slips for Roller-skating (Jr.&Sr. High), Miniature Golf and Driving Range, Ice Skating, Swimming and Bowling (Sr. High only). With the use of technology in Physical Education, students are educated about different levels of intensity they can

participate in while developing their own personal fitness profile. I use a video camera, and take a lot of pictures for

bulletin boards, projects, and authentic assessment of skill development.

I want my students to understand that fitness activities can bring a quality of life that money cannot buy. Physical Education activities should be fun. By understanding the curricula presented to them, they should be able to make good choices for a lifetime of physical activity.

Please read this brochure, the First Semester Outline and Limited Participation Form. If your son/daughter has an allergy to bee stings, asthma, or any health concerns that I should know about, please contact me @ 745-2641. Please sign and detach the permission slip and have your child return it>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

no later than Monday, August 30^tth!!

Sincerely for healthy active children,

Mrs. Barker, Physical Education & Strength Training Instructor
