Physical Education
The development of physical skills and the understanding of concepts related
to health fitness enhancement can provide students with a foundation for a
lifetime of healthful pursuits. The Physical Education Program has been
designed to meet this end. We offer a wide variety of activity units in order
to accommodate interests and encourage students to select units of varying
content.
Students begin their physical education in kindergarten with classes that meet
four days a week for 25 minutes. This continues until third grade, when classes
meet three days a week for 45 minutes. Beginning in grade five students return
to the four day schedules with classes lasting 45 minutes. In the seventh and
eighth grades elective units are offered during the spring quarter. The high
school program is primarily elective, with five required units (out of 18) in
dance, swimming, principles of fitness, fitness center, and injury care and
prevention.
