Woodside School District

I believe that physical education is vital to the growth and development of  children. Our physical education program teaches students how their bodies  move and how to perform a variety of physical activities. Students learn the  health-related benefits of regular physical activity and the skills to adopt a  physically active, healthy lifestyle. 

 

Social and Emotional Learning, SEL, is a natural fit in physical education  and will be an emphasis throughout the year. 

Please help your child participate to their fullest by sending them in athletic shoes and comfortable clothes on their PE days. Students wearing flip-flops, sandals, heels, crocs, Ugg boots or cowboy boots will not be allowed to  participate due to safety concerns. Shoes that have all toes and heels covered  and stay on the childʼs feet are generally ok.  Athletic shoes with non-marking soles are greatly appreciated!

 

If your child is at school, but will be unable to participate due to illness or injury, please send them to school with a note or email me. A doctorʼs note is required for excuses lasting more than three days. On your note please indicate your childʼs restrictions. For  example, they have a sprained wrist, but are fine to run. 

If you have any questions or concerns about your child, the physical education  program, or after-school sports, I would love to hear from you. I can be reached  at kjones@woodsideschool.us 

 

I look forward to getting to know you and your children,
