A Message from our PE/Swimming Instructor - Coach Jacob


                                 


August 2025.      

Dear Panther Families,


Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!  The Physical Education department has been hard at work designing a curriculum to best suit your child’s needs. We will be engaging in activities such as swimming, fundamental movements, games utilizing cooperation and good sportsmanship, and a lot of cardio based activities.


To ensure the safety of your child and his/her ability to participate in our program, we are requiring the following attire:


Physical Education:

  • Sneakers-with rubber soles and laces/Velcro (No crocs, please)

  • T-shirt and shorts (Grades N-3) 

  • P.E. uniform shirt (Grades 4-6)-Students may either wear his/her uniform shirt to school, or change at snack or lunch, depending on daily class schedules. Students may choose his/her own shorts or athletic pants, understanding that they may not have snaps and zippers for safety reasons. Comfort, a good fit for high performance (not too loose or too tight) and adequate coverage for all of our activities should be the standard for choosing shorts or athletic pants. 

  • Water jug

  • Caps are helpful and encouraged for sun protection.

Swimming:

  • Swimsuit 

  • Change of clothes (quick and easy for changing, not snug or a lot of buttons)

  • Towel

  • *Sandals with heel straps are helpful but not required

  • *Goggles are helpful but not required


In the event of an illness or injury that does not allow your child to participate, a note from you will ensure an excused absence.  If the illness or injury requires an extended period without participation, a note from a doctor will be required.  Please feel free to contact us during the year with any questions or concerns.  Thank you for your cooperation.


Sincerely,

Jacob Anderson-Grades N-6
