Notes From us!

 

All first through fifth grade students at Mustang Valley attend P.E. every other day for fifty minutes.

To ensure your child's safety, we ask that they wear some type of athletic shoes to class everyday. They may bring and change into them before class if necessary. We also request that girls wear shorts under their dresses.

If your child needs to be excused from participating in P.E., we must have a note each day.

Thank-you for your cooperation.

Mrs. Bradford & Ms. Dacus
 

Grading System

There are three areas students are graded on for each unit.  Participation, attitude/effort and skills are the components of their grade. Students may receive S, N, or U for a P.E. grade
