Physical Education Update
Starting Monday December 13, we are going to get high school students dressed for physical education. We believe this does not increase a risk of COVID exposure. We would like to start to move into a more normal physical education setting, by having them lock up their belongings including their cellphones and backpacks. Hygiene is another factor for us many kids participate and get sweaty and sit the rest of the day in their sweaty clothes. The PE policy is attached please read it over if you have any questions please reach out to thartwyk@woodburysch.com.
