Physical Education
The overall purpose of the Physical education department is to provide the students with a solid physical and mental background. The students are given a chance to explore different types of activities that they may or may not have experienced in the past. Throughout this course the students will be challenged to meet specific goals designed around their capabilities to compete.
The Physical education department takes into consideration the various stages of adolescent development. Students are evaluated on how well they have improved upon their performance from the beginning to the end of each activity. All of the class units involve physical activity, which can also further the cognitive and social aspects of life. The students need to learn rules, participate regularly and communicate with one another during all activities.
The students will complete various units of activities in Physical Education class. These units range from 2 to 3 week lessons, depending on the material needed to be covered. Students must meet the standard requirements set by the department in order to pass each unit.
The Physical education department thrives on and encourages students to invoke good sportsmanship as well as fair play. It is in our best interest to have the students leave this class with a better understanding of teamwork, responsibility and pride, in hopes to create healthier and more productive citizens for our community.
