Studies show physical activity:

• Improves clear thinking
• Increases self confidence
• Positively impacts student’s performance in school.

Our goal, at Royal Palm Elementary, is to provide the skills and opportunities for your child to learn and embrace health and fitness for life. 

To help your child be successful this year, please follow our PE program guidelines:

Doctor’s Notes

If your child needs to be excused from fitness activities, please provide a doctor’s note explaining 

• Why your child can not participat
• To date when the child will be able to rejoin participation in class  

Athletic Shoes

Your child will need athletic shoes (sneakers, tennis shoes) to participate in activities.  They must have a flat bottom (no heel) and the foot must be fully covered.  Sandals, Crocs, clogs, dress shoes, boots and any heeled shoes are not appropriate for class.

This year students will learn and refine skills in the fitness areas.  The skills are sequenced through the year with your child’s abilities in mind.  The overall goal being to help your child learn, experience and be successful.   We define success as accomplishing skills rather than focusing on “winning” and “competition.”
