Physical Education at Camelot
Every. Student. Stronger.
Our PE program is designed to help students build lifelong healthy habits, develop motor skills, and learn the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, and perseverance.
Please Make Note of Your Child's PE Days!
To help your child get the most out of class and stay safe while participating, we ask for your support with the following expectations:
Proper Footwear and Clothing - Sneakers are best. No CROCS, boots, sandals or dress shoes will be allowed for participation. Clothing and shoes that allow for full movement and different temperatures are best. PE will be held both in the gym and outside, weather permitting.
Participation - Every student is expected to participate to the best of their ability in ALL activities. We celebrate improvement and effort, not just skill level.
No Play - If your child cannot participate due to illness or injury, please send a note explaining the reason and the expected duration.
Respect, Self Control and Sportsmanship - Students are expected to maintain self control and treat classmates, equipment, and their teachers with respect: using kind words, taking turns, and following the rules of each game or activity.
Connect - I'm always happy to talk with you about your child's progress or answer any questions.
