Parent Letter
Physical Education Parent Letter
Hello Rankin parents, my name is Mr. Keskes and I will be your child’s P.E./ Health teacher here at Rankin Elementary. I truly believe that every student can learn and that we all need physical activity on a daily basis. I have a Bachelors Degree in Education and Physical Education from Western Michigan University and Masters Degree from Marygrove College.
Some of the themes we will be focusing on this year are; movement, flexibility, strength, skills, and sports. I also teach Michigan Model Health to all students in the school. Your child will be assessed on physical skills and behavior.
Your child’s expectations for physical education are: (these correlate with the Rankin Rocks expectations)
1) Be prepared for class every day with appropriate tennis shoes. (No sandals, dress shoes, or thick soled shoes that will mark the gym floor). Your children will sit out the whole hour for not dressing appropriately and it will affect their grade. Two days in a row will be a trip to the responsibility room (PBS).
2) Participate and play within the rules of all activities.
3) Respect each other, the teacher, and the equipment that we use every day.
4) Follow all classroom rules- bathrooms, freeze to whistle, etc.
5) Safety is encouraged at all times. Especially with P.E. equipment.
6) HAVE FUN!!!!!!
I will use a timeout area with in the gym for students who are not following the rules and will use the responsibility room for individuals needing a positive behavior change.
If you have questions or would like to volunteer helping in the gym, I would enjoy hearing from you. If your son or daughter has a medical condition (bad asthma, heart condition, etc.) that will restrict them or that I should know of, please let me know as soon as you can. It’s going to be a great year!!!
Sincerely,
Mr.Keskes---810-591-6778
