Students in grades K thru 5th participate in physical education 
classes wearing their school uniforms.  Please be sure that what your 
child is wearing on P.E. days is appropriate for vigorous outdoor 
activity.  Safety issues require that gym shoes be worn for 
participation. 

Middle school students change into a required gym uniform for 
physical education classes.  The uniform is any St. John's t-shirt 
and a pair of navy blue shorts.  See the Student Dress Code for more 
information. 

Students who are not dressed appropriately for physical activity will 
not participate in P.E. class.  

Students are taught to respect themselves and their bodies (as well 
as others, of course!)  Therefore, illnesses or injuries which 
require modified activity can be presented verbally to the teacher.  
Participation will be adapted according to the student's needs.  
Parent notes are not necessarily required. If a written note is 
presented please be sure to indicate whether you would like your 
child to decide on participation considering the illness/injury and 
that day's activity!  Most students prefer to participate if at all 
possible.

Grading for physical education classes is based on: Understanding 
the Concepts taught; Skill Development; and Appropriate 
Participation.  Quarterly grades are assigned and recorded on their 
PowerGrade report.

Parent communication is welcomed.  If you have any questions or 
comments please call the school office and leave a phone number/email 
address where you can be reached or you may use the email link at the 
top of this page.
