• Dear Students and Parents,

    My name is Ben Shiley and I am the Athletic Director and Physical Education teacher at GTCHS.

    The Physical Education classes will meet in the SLC Gym.  A majority of our class instruction will take place in the gym.  There will be days that the class will go to Gower & Cleveland Parks. The students will be transported in the GTCHS bus each day that we use their facility.  These facilities have baseball fields and tennis/pickleball courts to use.

     

    The following supplies will be needed for Physical Education class.

    T-shirts

    Any color and it must be long enough to tuck into the shorts. 

    NO TANK TOPS

    Short

    Any color and must be athletic style.  No jeans, cargo or pleated shorts.

    Tennis shoes

    Must have laces that are tied and have backs that cover the heel.

    Gym bag

    Large enough for all items to fit in.

     

    Proper shoes are required for class everyday.  Crocs, sandals, slides, flip flops and the like are not proper shoe attire for class.  This is a safety issue.

     

    There is a document that needs to be filled out and returned to me as soon as possible.  The Health Statement document will be with me at all times in case of an emergency.  It is VERY important that medical conditions and contact phone numbers are accurate.  I will have a phone with me at all times for such circumstances.  The most common situations are allergies, asthma, and bee stings.

     

    I am looking forward to a new school year and working with the students and parents to make this a positive learning environment for everyone.  I can be contacted by e-mail benshiley@staff.gtchs.org or phone the athletic office at 672-3891.  My office hours are from 9:30-10:50 Mon-Fri.
