Physical education

Welcome to Physical Education

During the school year your child will be participating in Physical Education. The elementary physical education program in the Garland I.S.D. is an integral facet of the school curriculum and as such, is of an instructional nature as opposed to supervised play periods. We believe the activities offered in the program are beneficial to the total development of the student. If you have any questions regarding the physical education program, please contact Coach Schnurr.

P.E. dress code

Wear tennis shoes each day to P.E. class. Wear shoes that are easy to lace or fasten. No boots, dress shoes or sandals please. Please wear shorts under dresses and skirts.
 

Medical information

During this school year, your child will be participating in Physical Education. The elementary Physical Education Program in the Garland Independent School District is an important part of the school curriculum and is instructional in nature. Physical Education Classes are critical to a complete education.

If your child cannot participate in P.E. then a note is required. If it is from a doctor, it should state when the child may resume activity. If it is from a parent, it is good for two days and needs to state why the child is physically unable to participate. We may only accept two parent notes per school year. Students not participating in P.E. will also sit out of recess.

If behavior problems arise they are treated as follows:

  1. If it is minor we simply encourage them to get back on track.
  2. Next, a time out from the activity may be in order (student/s would sit on the sideline watching the game).
  3. Still a problem - student would sit out the rest of the period.
  4. Daily/weekly problems – parent will be contacted by phone (conference may be requested).
  5. Extreme – school report filed and administration notified.
