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.

“Heelys”: for obvious reasons are not allowed for PE

classes.

Skechers Wedges and shoes with an open top are a NO!!

These shoes do not offer protection for the top of the foot.These shoes have a wedge in the

heel which make them unsafe for running.

Hope you get the message

then you won’t sit out from play!!!Some of the cutest

shoes around…until the felt makes you slip and fall. So, make sure you

check the soles.

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.

PLEASE wear socks with your

Shoes!!!
