A SMOOTH START TO YOUR PLC DAY
We understand the importance of starting your professional development day promptly. Our staff will be ready to receive students immediately following morning attendance and announcements.
School staff are asked to:
Bring students to their designated activity areas before reporting to the staff meeting or professional development session.
Arrange for student leaders or designated to assist with activity stations.
Ensure that at least one school representative is present in each activity area.
All OT Fitness programs begin with an introduction covering activity instructions, safety procedures, and expectations for the day.
Teacher and support staff participation is encouraged! If you are present in the gymnasium or activity area, please come ready to join in the fun.
OT Fitness recognizes that schools may be unable to cancel or reschedule their PLC School Sports Day because teachers are participating in professional development sessions facilitated by an outside presenter.
During October, May, and June, unpredictable weather can affect outdoor activities.
OT Fitness plans all PLC Sports Days with indoor activities as the primary option, while using outdoor facilities whenever weather conditions are suitable.
OT Fitness does not cancel outdoor Sports Days due to weather conditions.
Instead, our team will work with the school to determine the most suitable indoor arrangements, where facilities are available.
The final decision regarding activity locations and arrangements will be made by the school principal in consultation with the OT Fitness team leader on site.
