Dear Parents,

I would like to inform you about this year's Physical Education 
Program and my expectations of your child.  

My goal is to provide quality instruction in a well managed 
environment that will allow your child to learn and grow in the area 
of physical education.  This will be accomplished by:  Presenting 
lessons in a fun, positive manner; providing maximum practice time; 
ensuring each student is successful; and establishing award and 
discipline procedures.

Please read the information below; it will help make this a great 
year for your child in PE.

Participation is expected of all students.  If your child needs to be 
excused from P.E. because they are sick or hurt, a note from a doctor 
or parent is required.

Tennis shoes are required for safe participation in P.E.  Students 
are not allowed to participate if they are not wearing appropriate 
footwear.  Examples of inappropriate footwear are sandals, Crocs, 
flip flops, dress shoes and boots.   

Parents of any child whose ability to participate in physical 
activity is limited in any manner shoulod notify me and describe the 
limitations in writing.

Through out the school year if you have any questions or concerns 
about your child's participation in P. E. please contact me.

Finally, I hope you will talk to your child about what they have 
learned in P. E. and encourage them to practice the skills they have 
learned.  I look forward to to meeting you, teaching your child and 
having an outstanding year in Physical Education.

Sincerely,
Dan Nichols
Physical Education Teacher
