What's happening in PE?
We are off to a great start! Our focus for the first month of school is on Teambuilding and Improving Relationships. The games I have selected ( Hoola Hoop Showdown & Pipeline ) encouraged middle schoolers to communicate and work together cooperatively. The younger students worked on the games of "Risky Business", and "4 Corner Dice Roll) as the elements of fair play, teamwork and strategy were discussed.
WHOA!!! Off we ( 5th-8th grades) ventured to Dermond Field last week as we played our game of Capture! Making a grand appearance was our brand new"Squealer Pigs"!
They also "captured" the hearts of our first and second-grade students in the teambuilding game of "Pass the Pig":)Too much fun is happening here!

Physical Education Policies and Guidelines 2022-23

Come prepared in your gym uniform. ( navy shorts, grey logo t-shirt, Bernie's School or team sweatshirt and navy sweatpants)

No jewelry ( or Fit-bits/ apple watches) should be worn for safety considerations.

Sneaker laces should be tied not tucked. Students should not wear compression gear. RESPECT YOURSELF, OTHERS AND THE EQUIPMENT.

Consistent violations of the uniform policy or two uncooperative behaviors(or any combination of both) would warrant any or all of the following: detention, teacher-student conference, email to the parent.

Students may be excused from a uniform violation if a note is written and signed by a parent as long as the privilege is not abused. If your child has seen a doctor, a note from the physician is necessary explaining the illness or injury, time out of class and when he/she can resume activity. If your child cannot participate for any reason, a note or email from you is necessary to excuse them from class. Please email me with any questions or concerns.  I will be happy to discuss them with you.  rwallace@stbl.org

GRADING POLICIES • Students (Gr. 4-8) will receive at 2- 3 grades each trimester. If a written assignment is given, it is usually due back the following P.E. class.  Tests are infrequent, but may be given.

 GRADE EQUIVALENTS: Archdiocesan Criteria for P.E.                   4=  Exceeding: Student demonstrates complete understanding and  high achievement of the P.E. standards.

3=  Developing Appropriately: Student demonstrates a satisfactory understanding and adequate achievement of the P.E. standards

2=  Needs Improvement: Student demonstrates some understanding  and minimal achievement of the P.E. standards.

1=  Unsatisfactory:  Student demonstrates little or no understanding and limited achievement of the P.E. standards.

I will do my best to keep my students safe, happy and inspired to be physically active for life!

Medical Conditions

For children who have medical conditions (asthma, bee sting allergies, Diabetes etc.) or any physical limitations (fractures, breaks, strains, etc.) that need to be considered for Physical Education please copy and fill out the Medicine Form located on the School Forms page.
Since PE class may also take place at Dermond Field it is important to know if there are medications that should accompany a student (Inhalers, Epi-Pens, etc.). There is no need to return a form unless a need is listed.
