Dear Parent / Guardian

The Magnolia West Physical Education Department is very excited to have the opportunity to teach your child this school year. We desire that each student have a positive experience while participating in physical education. Please encourage your child to dress out daily and participate everyday. We also ask that each student purchase a uniform for $15 as soon as possible. We are going to challenge our students to always dress out and participate. We believe that physical education will lead to longevity of life and a healthy lifestyle. It is proven that physical activity on a daily basis raises energy levels and promotes better attitudes among American citizens.

Each instructor will follow the grading criteria. We want your child to do their very best and always cooperate. It is our desire to help each student learn about the importance of a physically healthy lifestyle. The traits of characteristics we teach them in P.E. will lead to a long and healthy life.

Please sign and return to the Magnolia WestPE Department with $15 so your child may purchase a PE uniform. 30% of your child’s grade depends on him or her dressing out. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Have a wonderful year, and we look forward to serving your child.

Sincerely,

Coach Jeremy Wade
