5th and 6th grade students and parents

Welcome to the Jacobson Elementary physical education class.  The gym floor has been resurfaced and looks like a new floor again.  Our custodians worked hard this summer getting the school ready for the new school year.  Our community, staff, and students are very proud of what we have here for our facilities.  We all do our best to try and keep it that way throughout the school year.

We have a lot of fun activities going on here in the gym and sometimes outside during physical education classes.  For your child to be successful and positive about what we are doing in class he/she needs clean PE shoes that can be tied or fastened securely by the student.

When the weather is nice and we go outside for PE class, outside running shoes should be worn for class.  Flip flops and sandals are not safe for the students to wear.  Usually, we don’t want them to wear their PE shoes outside since they could become wet, muddy or full of grass.  If they do, the student is responsible in getting their shoes cleaned off before they can use them in the gymnasium. 

5^th and 6^th grade students will need PE clothes for class.  This would mean shorts/sweats, t-shirt and a towel.  Students have a PE locker to keep all of their items in it.  The school does not provide a padlock to secure the locker.  Students can put their own padlock on the locker.  The school is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

I’m looking forward to a great school year.  If you have any questions, please email me or call me.
