It's Got to be the shoes!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE provide your student with proper athletic shoes for physical education class. For your child to be SAFE, RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, AND PRODUCTIVE they must wear athletic shoes that tie or are fastened by velcro. Crocs, boots, sandels, flip-flops, slip ons, heels, Heelies, dress shoes, etc., are not appropriate. Please help me help you keep your student safe and successful in PE this year.
