Dear Wertheimer Parents and Guardians,

Beginning December 1, 2025, our Physical Education classes will be participating in an in-house skating program. The skates will be delivered directly to the school by Skatetime School Programs and used inside our gymnasium. This equipment is specifically intended for indoor use and will not damage our floor.

This skating unit is being implemented because of its emphasis as a "Lifetime Activity". Skating provides a variety of benefits, which includes balance, coordination, motor skills, and top-rated cardio-respiratory workout. The fee for this unit will be $20 per student. The fee includes delivery and pickup of the equipment as well as use of the skates for 5 days of skating. Student will also learn basic skating skills such as starting, stopping, forward skating, backward skating, cornering and a number of safety tips for being a smart skater.

Please complete the electronic permission slip below no later than Wednesday, November 12, 2025.

Please pay via your School Cash Online account: https://lcisd.schoolcashonline.com/

You can pay with cash/check (payable to Wertheimer Middle School), but we prefer payment via School Cash Online.

Please consider sponsoring a child needing assistance with the rental fee. Simply pay an additional $20 for each sponsorship. We want all of our students to participate in this great opportunity.

In consideration of the permission granted I hereby grant permission for the person named herein to participate in the program described and associated activities provided by Skatetime School Programs®. I further release participating schools, agents, employees and volunteers from all actions, damages, claims, or demands and all liability, which might be incurred during the conduct of this activity.

I further authorize school officials to take the proper steps to provide medical attention should any participant be injured while participating or being transferred to or from any school sponsored activity and I hold the participating school harmless thereof.

I acknowledge the risk and responsibilities involved in this activity. I have read this release and understand all its terms and execute it voluntary and with full knowledge of its significance.
