The goal of the Physical Education program at Neillsville
Elementary School is to provide students with a basic 
foundation of motor and manipulative skills, an 
understanding of the importance of physical fitness and the 
opportunity to develop effective personal and social skills. 
Students will be provided with the skills necessary to make 
decisions about physical activity for their own health, 
enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and social interaction. 
Our goal is to promote a positive learning environment that meets the needs and 
abilities of students and encourages them to maintain a physically active lifestyle.

Student Expectations:

Students must wear sneakers properly 
laced or secured with velcro made for use 
on the gymnasium floor. Spiked cleats, 
hiking or thick bottom boots, shoes with 
heals, non-supporting slip-ons with or 
without backs are not permitted for 
physical activity. Safe participation 
requires students to be dressed 
appropriately. It is important that your 
child wears loose clothing and refrains 
from wearing any jewelry that might get 
lost or broken, or cause injury.
