Shoe Policy
All students must wear tennis shoes.
A note to all of the students...don't forget to have your tennis shoes with you at all times! If a child does not wear tennis shoes, they might sit out of the activity. Also, this will affect the student's progress report marks. I do have a few spare shoes in the gym, but being responsible and wearing gym shoes to class is an expectation. I also expect students to be prepared when they arrive to the gym. This means that if a younger student has trouble tying their shoes, their gym shoes should probably be slip-ons or velcro.
Pre-K and Kindergarten students, please strongly consider velcro or slip on gym shoes for your children. This is a great idea for many First Graders too. If I am constantly having to tie gym shoes, we won’t get very much accomplished in the gym each day. Thank you!! :-)
This also means that shoes should be cleaned off and not muddy. While students do not need to have separate shoes for the gym, I have found one of the easiest ways to assist students with this policy is to keep a pair of gym shoes in their locker. Shoes must cover the entire foot and no elevated back heel. This is for their own safety.
Thank you for your support. It's a TEAM effort!
