8th grade students returned to Hauser today to find a new organization in place for P.E. Last year, Ms. Kempe taught three boys’ and three girls’ P.E. classes. Due to a significant increase in Hauser’s enrollment, this organization no longer works across the schedule; therefore, we have instituted co-ed P.E. classes at the 8th grade level only. Most middle schools today offer only co-ed P.E. and Ms. Kempe had a very positive experience working within a co-ed structure at her previous school. She is excited for the new opportunities this will offer our students. This year will be a learning year for us regarding co-ed P.E. for 8th graders. I welcome your comments and suggestions to help make our program the best it can be. Thank you for your flexibility regarding this late change in our procedure.
