District 279 Physical Education Curriculum Goal Statement
The purpose of physical education is to provide students the opportunity to acquire the skills needed to make positive choices about a healthy, physically active lifestyle.
Students attend physical education every other day for 30 minutes in grades 1-6. Kindergarten students attend class for a total of 30 minutes every 6 school days. During this time we will be working on the physical education themes of: Body Control, Fitness, Propelling, Receiving and Striking.
Weaver Lake Physical Education staff is as follows:
Ward Miller: Grades K, 2, 3, 4, 5, and DAPEMelissa Elias: Grades 1, 3, 6, and DAPERobin Gillispie: Grade K
In addition, our staff also teaches various sections of Development/Adapted Physical Education.
Reminders:
We would like to remind families that students are to wear appropriate tennis shoes during class – no platform shoes or hiking boots please. Students may want to keep a pair of tennis shoes at school in their lockers for this purpose.
Keep the Health Services Specialist informed of any medical needs that your child may have. Any child needing to be excused from physical education activity will need a parent note indicating the reason. Expended time out of class requires a doctor’s note.
