Parent Support System:
In order for me as the physical education
teacher to implement an effective curriculum we need parent support. Please
review the ways that you can help nurture the physical fitness lifestyle for
your children so that they are excited about what we do in PE classes.
Support and Reinforce:
• When you
reinforce what I do in class each day, the students will find more value in it.
• Include your children in shopping trips and
meal preparation so they can discuss family practices in class when we discuss healthy
lifestyles.
• Encourage your children to actively work
toward their goals so that they develop perseverance.
• Students are sometimes unwilling to
participate because they are afraid to try, and I am working to ensure that they
feel support and encouragement as they participate. Please reinforce the need
to try.
• Remind students to keep their belongings
safe and not to bring valuable or non-valuable items to Physical Education
classes.
(HAPPY HOLIDAYS!)

Communication:
• Most teachers want to talk to parents about their
children’s progress.
• If there is ever a concern, please contact me directly so
that I can discuss the issues with you.
• When students are unable to participate in class, please
be sure to provide a doctor’s note with detailed information so that I will
know how to work with your children when they are able to return to school and
activities.
Be Active:
• Encourage your children to be active by engaging in
physical activity at home during the week and on the weekends.
• Create opportunities for family activities that revolve
around a healthy lifestyle and physical activities like walking, running,
bicycling, playing catch, cooking meals together, and etc.
• Ask your children what they are doing in their Physical
Education classes. Parents you are invited to visit a class if you are
available. Contact your child’s Physical Education teacher and the school if
you would like to visit.
