You're Going to Love P.E.!!

The Porter P.E. staff is looking forward to making P.E. one of the highlights of your child's school year.  Our curriculum provides a laboratory for children to explore their limits while learning about themselves and their personal capabilities. A wide variety of activities are offered in order for children to identify many different physical activities that are personally enjoyable and that can be continued throughout their lifetime.

Students attend two thirty minute P.E. classes each week, with the exception of Kindergarten students, who receive one thirty minute lesson weekly. Children are given the chance to practice at their own pace while working with individual pieces of equipment.

 

What to wear!!

 

For their safety, and to enable our students to participate to the best of their ability, please help your child select the proper attire for physical activity. Students should wear comfortable clothing. Tennis shoes are requested.

 

Sure Success in P.E.!!
