To participate in each Winter PE program your child must arrive at school on time. Parents and students should consider Winter PE a regular school day. Attendance and punctuality are expected. Attendance will be taken promptly at 8:10 am. Be early and allow extra time. Students start and end their day in the classroom. They may NOT be picked up early from the ski area. Any student who arrives at school unprepared will not be allowed to participate. If a student is ILL, they should stay home. Please notify the office by 8:00. 

Mark all equipment with your child’s name. Duct Tape and Sharpie work best.

KG~ all skis are to be dropped off and checked in with a Staff member. Kindergarten skis will go into specific ski group duffle bags. Your student will come to school with their ski boots on and enter through the basement. Check in with your teacher in the designated area of the basement for attendance. 

1st Grade~ All skis dropped off in front of the school in the school ski truck. Staff will be available to assist. Drop boots off in a designated area outside of the gym on the 1st floor. Students will keep their poles with them and go to class for attendance.

2nd Grade~ All skis dropped off in front of the school in the school truck. Drop boots off in the designated area on the 2nd floor entry by the Preschool. Students will keep their poles with them and go to class for attendance. 

Due to Limited storage space, it is necessary that you pick up your child’s ski equipment and take it home at the end of the day. Skis will be lined up on the front lawn for pick-up. Unfortunately, State regulations prevent skis from being transported on the bus. Please mark all equipment clearly with your child’s name so you will be able to easily identify it for pickup. Please use the stickers provided to label your child’s skis, unless from the rental program. 

Proper behavior ensures a fun and safe learning experience for all the students. Therefore, all school rules and behavior expectations for students apply during the Winter PE Program. Students are expected to follow instructions and all safety rules on the lifts and slopes. They are expected to be respectful toward their instructor, fellow students and skiing in public at all times.
