Your child’s health & safety is my first priority, therefore if he or she has a medical problem or physical limitation, it is very important to let me know. Even if he or she has no limitations or restrictions from a doctor, I still need to know if he or she has asthma, heart problems, diabetes, severe allergies, etc.

Please send a note if your child needs to sit out of P.E.. A doctor’s note must be sent if your child needs to sit out of P.E. for more than three days. Texas mandates at least 135 minutes of moderate or vigorous structured physical activity per week in elementary school.
