Mr. Mortensen and Mr. Alioto

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!!!

What’s Happening in PE:

Welcome Back! Mr. Alioto and I have been working on the standards for PE from the state of California and Oakland Diocese to form a productive curriculum that will be engaging for all the students. As their PE teachers, it is imperative that we follow these standards as a baseline for the activities used in PE. We look forward to working with all the students as we stress the importance of having a healthy and active lifestyle, as well as an understanding of athletic and team building skills!

From the St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception School 2017-2018 Family Handbook, p.23

"PE classes are held for the pre-kindergarten through eight grade each week. Participation in these classes is mandatory and a student must have a written note from a parent to be excused from classes. Extended non-participation in PE mandates a note from a physician indicating the duration of inactivity. Students excused from PE classes will also be excluded from physical activity at recess, lunch, and extracurricular activities. Students in grades K-3 participate in weekly motor development classes."

Blessings,
Mr. Mortensen
