    This year we are conducting the event through the CANVAS classroom.  If half of our students sign up, our school will receive a $500 bonus.  Signing up does NOT require students to collect any donations.  We will deliver prizes after the event is closed out (Feb. 26, 2021).  Thank you for your support.

    YOU  ARE  NOT  FULLY  EDUCATED  UNTIL  YOU  ARE  PHYSICALLY  EDUCATED

     

    Hello and Welcome. We hope our site will keep you informed as to what your child will be doing during their participation in PE. Our goal is to build knowledgeable and healthy students who will stay active for a lifetime. We use a variety of activities to keep students interested and motivated in exercise to ensure our students are getting the maximum benefits of physical education.   

     

    Here are a few important things we want to share with you concerning PE at FFES:

     

    Ferry Farm Students should:

    • Try their best
    • Wear tennis shoes and proper P. E. attire
    • Cooperate with others
    • Be safe in all of their actions
    • Help their fellow students
    • Be polite and respect teachers and students

     

    PE Rules:

    • Be quiet when entering and leaving the gym area
    • Respect all indoor and outdoor P. E. equipment
    • Food, drinks, gum and candy do not enter the gym area
    • Wear tennis shoes and proper P. E. attire when participating
    • Keep hands and feet to yourself
    • Always show great sportsmanship
    • Do not leave the gym area without permission from a teacher
    • Respect others
    • "Whistle" - stop - look – listen
    • "Hand clap" - stop - look - listen

     

    Illness and injuries:

     Parents, please send a signed note by you or your child’s doctor stating whether your child should be completely exempt or allowed limited participation in P.E.

    SCPS has purchased a program that allows you to track your child's Physical Fitness Scores.  The scores will follow your child through high school.  You can go to the site below and look at your child's scores then you and your child can set goals for the year.  You will only see your own child's scores.  To log in, the USERNAME is your child's ID number (testing #) and the PASSWORD is his/her last name exactly as it appears.  If you need your child's ID number, please contact us for it.   We look forward to seeing what goals everyone sets for themselves.
