Homework:

Grades 4-8th:  Bring notebook & pen to class.  On-going Pedometer Activity.  I will be checking all P.E. journals to see if this assignment was completed.  Students have been using pedometers during physical education class.  During each class period, students are to record the number of steps they took, the number of miles they walked, the calories they had burned as well as the amount of time they have exercised during physical education class.  All students are given the last 5 minutes of class to record this data.  

Grades 4-8th:  Students will need a mouth guard for Lacrosse in February.  They can be purchased at Walmart, Dick's or any sporting good store.  Students will not be able to particpate in any leadup games without one due to safety reasons.

 I will be posting additional information to this website throughout the year, including homework assignments, important dates, reminders, newsletters, and other miscellaneous items of interest.  I will be communicating through your child when important things have been put on the page.  I envision that this website will become a primary means of communication and a valuable resource for both you and your child!
