TRANSCRIPT

Crocs, Flip flops, boots, open toed sandals, dress shoes, cleats, Skecher wedges, heelys, spinners, fashion tennis
shoes, Toms, Bobs, shoes with an open top and shoes with felt on the bottom and shoes with a strap across the back are hazardous and therefore NOT permissible.
Girls must wear shorts under their dresses for various activities as well. Long dresses and skirts are not recommended for PE days as
they could hinder movement.
Your safety is a priority and by you making safe shoe choices for PE assures you will be
able to participate in all activities safely.
“Heelys”: for obvious reasons are not allowed for PE
classes.
These shoes have a wedge in the heel which make them
unsafe for running.
These shoes have felt on the bottom and will make you slip
and fall.
These shoes are a NO!
Skinny Band Shoes
We prefer these type of shoes not be worn for PE as there is a
chance of the skinny straps breaking and the shoes
becoming loose fitting, possibly falling off. As well, there is no protection for the top of the
foot.
Mary Janes
Even though the shoes meet most requirements, the
protection on top of the foot is not substantial and the buckle
could cause injury.
TEKS K.5 and K.5B: Explain how proper shoes and clothing promote safe play and prevent injury.
TEKS 1.5 and 1.5B: Describe the importance of protective
equipment in preventing injury such as helmets,
