Parents
District 11 is committed to providing a minimum of 90 minutes per week in
Health and Physical Education, taught by a qualified instructor. We
join you in valuing your child's health and wellness. You can support
what your child is learning in Health and P.E. classes by:
* asking him or her to demonstrate some of the skills they have
learned in class.
* emphasizing the importance of having fun in physical activity,
avoiding the "need to win."
* using physical activity rather than food as a reward. (i.e. extra
minutes of play time, taking a family bike ride, etc)
* balancing television/computer time with healthy activities
* adapt activities for children with special needs or preferences
We also invite you to attend your child's After School Fitness for Life
Activities, Annual School Track or Field Day, and the District Annual
Track and Field Festival at Berry Stadium. Together, we can build a generation
of healthy minds and bodies. |
