Physical Education Requirements:
DRESS
Students are expected to dress appropriately for active daily participation.
At St. Francis de Sales School, we require students to purchase and wear PE
uniforms.
The required PE uniform can be purchased through the Booster Club. Order
forms are available in the School Office and/or the Athletic Department.
The required PE uniform is as follow:
1st-4th grades: shorts only

-girls will wear gold t-shirts with the Valiant logo
-boys will wear white t-shirts with the Valiant logo
All students should wear athletic shoes with laces. "NO" slip ons or casual
shoes allowed.
Students should bring sweatshirts and sweatpants for the cool days. We will
go outside as long as the weather permits. These sweats do not have to be
school issued; however, they must be appropriate ("NO" words on the seat of
pants or any other inappropriate place and any logo must be smaller that a
standard business card).
Students are expected to dress in the required PE uniform daily. Students who
frequently forget their clothes or wear other clothing. That is not P.E.
uniform will have their daily grade adjusted accordingly. Please see (grade
evaluation)
(TIP- Please label the collar and waistband of your child's PE uniform)
PARTICIPATION
Physical education is an activity class. Your child's grade will reflect
his/her daily participation, conduct, and preparation (PE uniform-see above).
Students will be expected to do moderate running, stretching, and conditioning
exercises for proper warm-up and workout.
Students will also participate in a wide variety of individual and team sports
as well as games.
Students who will miss 3 or more days of PE class should provide a written
physician's statement indicating the injury/illness and the duration of their
restriction.
When a minor injury/illness occurs and you feel it would be in your child's
best interest to avoid strenuous activity for that day, a parent note is
required.
If a student does not have written documentation and chooses not to
participate, it will be reflected accordingly in their daily grade.
MEDICINE
Students who use an inhaler, or any other medication, must have a note on file
with the school office. All medications MUST reside in the Nurse's Office.
Students' should discuss proper use of the inhaler with his/her parent and

coaches' of your child's level of need i.e. (rarely, occasionally, often to
frequently). Please make sure the inhaler is marked with your child's name.
