FIELD DAY!

Students in all grade levels will have ample opportunities to earn a variety of student recognition rewards for achieving physical challenges and growth throughout the school year. In addition to earning student recognition rewards for physical performances, students may earn “Panda Paws” on a daily basis for demonstrating good sportsmanlike conduct. ARE YOU READY FOR THE CHALLENGE?

Students are required to wear “Tennis Shoes” or “Sneakers” to P.E. class. Wearing Tennis Shoes allows for safe movement preventing bodily injuries. Students should also wear loose or flexible clothing on P.E. days. Therefore, please remind your child to wear “Tennis Shoes” and flexible clothing on scheduled P.E. days.
