Hello all... below you will find an email that was sent from the director of the Physical Education Dept. at SCSU, offering free physical education classes for homeschool students. I know several families that have participated and all have loved it.
Have a great day!

Dear Parents!
I hope you have had a great winter - spring is on its way! As we are getting into our new semester, I wanted to contact you to offer another semester of the SCSU Home School Physical Education Program.
The elementary class will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:10-9am and 10:10-11am from April 16th – April 30th. As you can see, there is a gap of time between the classes so we will be offering a movement foundations class from 9:10-10am. For planning purposes for our future physical education teachers, we ask that you register your students for both the 8:10 and 10:10 classes and once you have registered you try to attend as often as possible. We certainly understand illnesses and other commitments that may prevent you from attending every day, but we would appreciate your children’s attendance as often as possible.
The secondary class will also be offered again this semester. This class will be offered on the following dates: March 7, 14, 28, April 4, 16, 18, and May 7 & 9. The activities that will be taught in these classes consist of Tactical Game Play, Archery and Orienteering (mapping and compass work). This course meets form 12:10 – 1pm. We had many middle school-aged students last semester and highly encourage all high school-aged students to attend as well.
The elementary class is open to children ages 5-10. We will be split into two groups based on age (5-7 year olds and 8-10 year olds). The activities we teach will be developmentally appropriate for students in those age groups. The secondary class is open to children ages 11-18.
For our records, please reply to Dr. Daniel Swartz for the elementary and movement foundations classes at swartzd1@southernct.edu OR Dr. Jim Rauschenbach for the middle and high school classes at rauschenbaj1@southernct.edu.
In addition, please feel free to pass this information on to other families who have children who are home-schooled. If you or they require any further information, please feel free to e-mail me at swartzd1@southernct.edu.
Thank you,
