Physical Education Appropriate Dress
Regulation Reminder:
Regulation 3210.4
"Students participating in physical education classes
taught by a physical education specialist must wear shoes appropriate to the
instructional activity and designed to provide support, fit securely, and
prevent injury. Jewelry that impedes safe participation by students should not
be worn."
Now that the
weather is changing, the Physical Education Department would like to remind parents
and students to check their shoes and jewelry on P.E. days in order to prevent
injuries or loss. Students who are not properly prepared for class will not be
able to participate on that date and will be participating in an alternate
activity. Mrs. Opsut or Mr. Murphy, will be happy to help if you have any questions.

Tdap Notice for Parents of 5th Graders
Virginia Law requires that all students entering
sixth grade receive a booster dose of the Tdap
vaccine prior to the beginning of school. The Tdap vaccine protects against
tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) and is usually
given around the age of 11, although it can be given as early as seven years of
age.
In order
for your child to begin 6th grade you will need to submit a copy of your child’s immunization record showing
the Tdap vaccine before the first day of school. It is recommended that all paperwork is submitted
to the school office by June 8, 2018.
A Tdap Notice was sent home with all 5th Grade students in the progress report envelope on Tuesday, February 6th.
 Do you have a rising Kindergartner?
A 'Survey of Preschool Children' is going home in the January 30th Tuesday Take-Home envelope. If you have a child who will be 5 years old by September 30, 2018, then he or she is eligible for kindergarten. In this case, please complete the survey and return it to your child's school.
