PE Clothing Requirements
      It is expected that students change into activewear and athletic shoes to participate in Physical Education.
      Changing for PE class is important for hygienic reasons, allowing increased movement, fostering positive school spirit, and quick identification of DT students when outside.
      Students can purchase gym strip from the office at a cost of $12 for T-Shirts and $18 for shorts.
      Students may also bring athletic wear from home, if they are wearing David Thompson colors: Red on top, Black on the bottom.
      It is recommended to write your name on both pieces of clothing to avoid lost clothing.



Evaluation in PE class

Students will complete self-evaluations after each module with a large focus on skill acquisition and progression. All evaluation will be based on a 1-4 scale. Teacher evaluation will be completed under the following three stems: 

1. Performs and refines movement skills
2. Cooperates to demonstrate fair play and teamwork
3. Explores strategies for leading a healthy, active way of life

Power School will be updated with student grades for PE and Health.
