Dear Mr. /Mrs. ______________________
Your son/daughter___________________________ came unprepared to
Physical Education/Personal Fitness/Weight Training class. I strongly believe
that movement is one of the crucial factors contributing to the correct physical
development of our students. Inappropriate attire can significantly prohibit a
student from physical activity. It can create a safety hazard as well as great
physical and emotional discomfort. Please remind your son/daughter to dress
out appropriately, since the state law requires daily physical activity. The best
choice of attire would be tennis shoes, shorts/sweat pants, and shirt/sweatshirt.
Thank you very much for your support.
