Expectations

The focus for each Hopewell student is to be fit for life. Important foundations that will be built on through each grading period will be developing healthy eating habits, increasing exercise activity time, getting enough rest, and increasing play in a variety of ways. The anchor for each child is the involvement of parents in their child's studies and in making wellness habits that will last a lifetime. 

 

  • STUDENTS WILL PARTICIPATE EACH DAY, TRYING NEW ACTIVITIES, PERFORMING SKILLS, AND IMPROVING FITNESS LEVELS.
  • STUDENTS WILL RESPECT THEMSELVES, CLASSMATES, SCHOOL PROPERTY, AND THE TEACHER AT ALL TIMES.
  • STUDENTS, WITH THE HELP OF THEIR PARENTS, NEED TO FOLLOW SCHOOL RULES OF DRESSING APPROPRIATELY FOR CLASS WITH TENNIS SHOES AND CLOTHES THAT FIT.
  • THE GOAL OF EACH FAMILY IS TO ENGAGE IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TOGETHER AT LEAST 30 MINUTES DAILY AT HOME. ALSO, EACH STUDENT WILL LEARN NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES FOR SNACKING AND MEALTIME THAT NEEDS TO BE ENRICHED AT HOME.

SAFETY FOR P.E. BEGINS AT HOME GETTING DRESSED:

  • DO NOT WEAR SHOES THAT LIGHT UP FOR P.E. CLASS. STUDENTS AND TEACHERS CAN HAVE MIGRAINE HEADACHES OR SEIZURES THAT ARE TRIGGERED BY THE FLASHING.
  • WEAR TENNIS SHOES WITH GRIPPING SOLES. STUDENTS WILL SLIDE ON THE TILE FLOOR AND MAY BECOME INJURED OR CAUSE ANOTHER STUDENT TO FALL. DO NOT WEAR SANDALS, FLIP FLOPS, GLOVE SHOES, CROCS, JELLIES, BOOTS, OR DRESS SHOES. REMEMBER THAT THE FLOOR AND WALLS ARE HARD AND HURT.
  • CLOTHES THAT ARE TOO SMALL DO NOT ALLOW STUDENTS TO PLAY WITH EASE. CLOTHES THAT ARE TOO LARGE CAN SLIP AND EXPOSE BODY PARTS OR CAUSE A CHILD TO FALL. IF A BELT IS NEEDED, PLEASE USE ONE.

PLEASE REMEMBER:
