Please make sure your child wears socks and sneakers on the days he/she has gym class. Wearing proper footwear ensures full participation and safety in gym class, and it also allows your child to play safely during outside activities and recess.

The district does not want your child to miss out on any activities due to unsafe or improper footwear.
