PLANO MIDDLE SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION

INLINE SKATING PROGRAM

Dear Parent or Guardian:

Beginning Monday, January 14, 2013, our Physical Education classes will be participating in an in-house skating program. The skates will be delivered directly to the school. Due to insurance purposes, we will be exclusively using LIFETIME SPORTS, INC. skates.

This skating unit is being implemented because of its emphasis as a “lifetime activity.” Skating provides a variety of benefits, which include balance, coordination, motor skills, and a cardio-respiratory workout. Students may also learn basic skating skills such as starting, stopping, forward skating, backward skating, cornering, and a number of safety tips for being a smart skater.

The expectations for the class are exposure to the activity as well as giving it your best effort. Talent/skills will not be graded.

The fee for this unit will be $9.00 for inline skates per student. For nine (9) days of skating during normal P.E. class, the fee includes delivery and pickup of the equipment, use of the skates, as well as optional safety equipment for the wrists, elbows, knees, and/or helmet. All students at Plano Middle School will participate in this activity.

Please have your child return the bottom portion of this information slip with the fee no later than Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Checks can be made out to Plano Middle School.
