Changing into Gym Clothes- Grade 5's (postponed)
Here at Barker, students in Grade 5 will start changing into appropriate gym clothes before coming into the gymnasium. Changing will be mandatory for students. If students do not bring their gym clothes, they will be asked to use the spare change of clothes that I will have on hand. These extra clothes have been purchased and donated to the school for this exact purpose. I will be collecting and continually washing these clothes after every use. Repetitive failure to bring one’s clothes can result in a phone call home.
We would appreciate it if you could send some clean clothes with your child in a gym bag or small pack. These clothes can include:
- T-shirts
- Shorts
- Track pants
- Sweat pants
- Gym Shoes (mandatory)
- Deodorant (optional but recommended)
- (No strap-tops, muscle shirts, or body spray please)
It is important for students to practice proper hygienic routines and as well as to have them be comfortable in clothing that they can be physically active in. This will create opportunities for learning responsibility as students will need to bring their clothes to class as well as bring them home to be cleaned.
