Dear students and parents,

    Welcome to Earhart!  I look forward to getting to know each of you over the next year!  I would like to introduce myself to you so that you can get to know me too!  This is my seventh year here at Earhart.  I love our school and I think that we have a really great P.E. program here.  I hope that you will enjoy it, too. 

    This year we will cover many activities.  We will begin the year with our first physical fitness pre-testing.  We will do two pre-tests, in September and December, for the state testing in March.  This way, students can see at what level of physical fitness they are currently and can make goals for improving in the future.  We have several facilities for students to use.  We have a weight room (the "fitness center") that we will be using to increase strength and knowledge.  We have a gym that has a rock climbing wall on one wall.  We will be using each of these facilities about once every six day rotation.  Other days of our rotation include one extended run on our lower field and four days of activity.  This year our units will be:  soccer, basketball, track

      Some things to keep in mind...students must dress out for PE every day, students must have a parent note to excuse them from activity in PE for up to three days and a doctor's note for anything longer, no jewelry is allowed in PE for safety reasons, students may bring water out to PE when it is extremely hot, sweats are allowed for cold weather...and I expect all students to show respect for themselves and others.

    Please keep in mind that the PE department is available after school on Thursdays for make ups.  Make ups include the mile run, sports skills tests, physical fitness tests, etc.  Please let me know in advance if you will be making up an assignment so that I may check my schedule.  Thanks!

    I hope this information is helpful to you.  Please do not hesitate to contact me with a question or concern.  The best way is via email at ckiemele@rusd.k12.ca.us  You may also leave a message for me at 951-697-5700 x 53023 and I will return your call.  Thank you for taking the time to visit my page!  Have a great day!
