To all parents and guardians of Hernando Elementary Students, The PE staff would like to welcome our students to an exciting year of physical education activities. We are excited to welcome Mrs. Tracy Buettner to our PE staff. Mrs. Buettner is an experienced PE teacher and coach in our school district and will bring a wealth of knowledge, and enthusiasm to our program. Please make sure you get a chance to meet and welcome her to our school. We do have specific requirements to ensure the safety and participation of all of the students during our classes. All students need to wear sneakers and comfortable, loose fitting clothing to every class. In addition, we encourage all of our students to bring a water bottle, with their name on it, to every PE class. Our classes stress rigorous exercise and full participation for every student. We share the approach that learning to move in many different ways will allow our students to develop an appreciation for body awareness and function. This knowledge will enable them to acquire skills needed to play sports, engage in lifelong exercise, and lead healthy lifestyles. If your child is unable to participate, please send in a doctor’s note or note from the parent/ guardian stating the illness or injury. Parent notes are good for two days, after which a doctor’s note must be provided to be excused from participation. There will be alternate writing activities for those students who can’t participate. We have created a school website for our PE program. The website address is: www.hernandophysicaleducation.weebly.com. On this website will be information for our many, varied programs. You’ll find information on our third grade school district swim program, runner’s club, before school sports camps, fitness programming, disc golf course, Hernando Trail Run races, and more. Please visit this website often as we will update the information to keep you abreast of everything PE! Thank you, Tracy Buettner and Mike Porcelli Physical Education Amanda Parker
