WELCOME LETTER

                                     Welcome Back to Physical Education!

Dear Students and Families,

Welcome to the new school year! I’m Ms. Douglas, your Physical Education teacher at George M. Pullman School. I’m thrilled to have you in class and look forward to an exciting year filled with movement, learning, and fun

Our Goals
In PE, we’ll focus on developing physical skills, understanding the importance of a healthy lifestyle, and fostering teamwork and sportsmanship. Activities will include various sports, fitness exercises, and games designed to keep us active and engaged.

What to Bring

• Proper Footwear: Athletic shoes with laces or Velcro are required for safety. Please avoid sandals, boots, or slip-ons.
• Appropriate Attire: PE attire should support movement, be modest, and reflect school uniform guidelines (pullmanschool.org). Please wear:
• A T-shirt in gray, red, or black (solid color).
• Shorts or sweatpants in dark colors, such as black or navy blue (solid colors).
• No leggings, tights, spandex, or revealing clothing—these are not permitted (pullmanschool.org).
• Hydration: Bringing a water bottle is encouraged to stay hydrated during class.

Participation
Active participation is essential. If a student cannot participate due to health reasons, please provide a note. A doctor’s note is required for absences longer than a week.

Communication
Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. You can contact me at [email protected] or call the school at 773-535-5399

Let’s make this year in Physical Education enjoyable and rewarding. I can’t wait to see the growth and enthusiasm each student brings to class!

Sincerely,
Ms. Janine Douglas
