Welcome to the Physical Education Department!

Here's some common Q & A:

Need to get a hold of a teacher::

Mr. Thiessen

Mrs. Poynor

Mr. Eckert

Mrs. Trail

*Are jackets and sweatshirts allowed?

YES!

We understand that when the temp is cold it is ok for students to bring extra articles of clothing to put over their uniform (NOT under). The idea is that students sweat into their uniform and not into their street clothes (being worn in the classes to follow).

*How about water bottles?

YES!

*However, NO pop or sugary drinks like Gatorade, Powerade, etc...

Temperature is an important topic....so, how HOT does it have to be for our students to be excused from running outside for that day?

Although this a judgement call, at the discretion of the Department as a whole (due to many variables that play into it), we generally have a maximum in the range of 90F degrees. On the other hand, the minimum is in the 45-50F degree range.
