Elementary Coaches Corner
As we begin the school year, please keep in mind that your child(ren) has P.E. class every day. Your child(ren) should be wearing tennis shoes with tieable laces or Velcro straps to help prevent accidents. If your child(ren) can not tie their shoes independently, please practice this important skill at home. Slip on shoes are convenient, but pose a major risk of injury. We will be practicing classroom rules and procedures, while learning how to safely move around the gym for the first few weeks.
