Welcome Letter
Dear MBS Osprey Caregivers,
First, I would like to say welcome to Malletts Bay School. My name is Elizabeth Eastman. I will be your child’s physical education teacher. I am super excited to have your child in my class this year! In this letter you will find updates about mask expectations, outdoor location and duration, appropriate apparel and volunteer update.
As you know masks are a requirement when inside the school building. This will also apply to PE classes when held in the gym. Students will be given mask breaks which means they will have the opportunity to take off their masks if they choose to. Students needing a mask break will simply need to let me know and will be mask free in a designated area. A water break is another great time for a mask break. Please talk with your child about what their comfort level might be. Feel free to email me (Elizabeth.eastman@colchestersd.org) if your child has any issues with masks during PE. I want all my students to feel comfortable and safe during my class.
To help reduce the spread of germs we will be requiring students to wash their hands before and after PE class. When students arrive hand sanitizer will be available for them to use. I too will be washing my hands and cleaning equipment in between classes. I will also be rotating equipment bags to give them time to dry after cleaning and to help reduce the amount of shared equipment between students.
Your child will be primarily participating in PE outside this year. During outdoor PE classes students may choose to remove their mask. We have been fortunate this year to have a tent setup for shade and rain protection. Knowing that we will be outside for most of the year I am asking that your child come prepared for the weather. Being prepared means having an extra pair of socks, a second set of sneakers (if you can), extra shorts or pants in case they get wet, water bottle and coats for the cooler temperatures. Please make sure to write your child’s name on any outdoor apparel and water bottle.
I am so excited to say that your child will be having PE twice a week. On my blog you will be able to see what days of the week your child will have PE. Click on the tab that says class schedule. My blog is one of the places where I will be posting pictures and videos of students participating in PE. My Instagram account ( pe_shark) is another place where you will see the fun we are having.
Again, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions feel free to email me at Elizabeth.Eastman@colchestersd.org. I am here for you and your child.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Eastman
