Dear Parents/Guardians,

It is such a pleasure to welcome all the wonderful students back to school this year. My name is Mrs. Guyton and I look forward to getting to know your children and having them in PE this year. Each class will have 100 minutes of PE per week in Grades KG-5. Ask your child (ren) about our wonderful P.E incentive programs like Free choice days, Impossible Shot and MVP of the month.

The goal of Elementary Physical Education at Lucketts Elementary and Loudoun County is to teach students to develop healthy living habits that will last a lifetime.  We accomplish that by having students participate in a wide variety of activities, sports, and challenges that will increase their physical, social, and mental abilities, as well as teamwork and cooperation skills.  We hope to provide a safe, fun, and motivating class that will encourage all students to want to participate, have fun and try their best.  Focused Fitness activities, health, nutrition, muscles, and bones are implemented into P.E. classe, as well as integrating Core subject areas such as math and spelling.   

Here are some things that will help make PE as fun and SAFE as possible this year:

1.     Sneakers are recommended for safety on PE days!!!      

2.    If  wearing a dress/skirt please wear shorts under them if they have PE that day. 

3.    If a student has a medical condition or injury, please send a note/medical excuse.

4.    If student is missing more than a week of PE classes a Doctors note is required.

5.    Jewelry is recommended to be taken off during PE for safety reasons
