Athletics & PE

LDSS Athletic Dept. (Mrs. Dube, Mr. Hofer, Mrs. Brown, Mr. Backhouse, Mr. Wilejto)

Our physical education program provides opportunities for all students to be physically active regularly and to develop an appreciation for and enjoyment of movement in the following categories: outdoor activities, fitness, games, as well as individual and dual activities.

Physical Education is also an integral part of the total education progress. Students who participate in regular physical education classes enjoy enhanced memory and learning, better concentration and increased problem-solving abilities. They are willing to take appropriate risks and have a more positive attitude toward themselves and others.

All students are required to have:

  • running shoes for gym use only;
  • shorts, t-shirt, socks 
  • student should also have suitable outdoor wear for certain activities.

All students are required to have: running shoes (non-marking) and a change of clothes that are breathable and comfortable. Showers are available on site for students to use. Students are asked to leave valuables in their lockers. Anything lost or stolen will not be replaced by the Physical Education Department.

If a student is ill or may need to be excused from activity for a short time, a note from home is required. If a student is medically excused for a longer period of time, a note from a physician is required, and alternate work will be provided.
