Grading & Evaluation

Course Overview

Regular exercise is essential to a healthy lifestyle. The primary goal of the P.E. program is to have all students participate and find success and enjoyment in class. Our program emphasizes the enjoyment of physical movement in a wide variety of activities in order to promote lifelong habits of physical activity. Physical fitness activities build strength, endurance, balance, flexibility and self-esteem.

Each student is encouraged to work on individual skills at their own pace, against no other standard but their own goals in a non-threatening and non-competitive environment.

Cooperation is a cornerstone to team sports and important in all forms of social and physical interaction. Students will work on cooperation through group games, working with partners and problem solving in team challenges.
