Health and Physical Education
What's New for 2025-2026?
This year we will again not allow any water bottles/cups in the gymnasium. We have water fountains available in the gymnasium. Students have access to these fountains the entire time that they are in the gymnasium. We encourage students to use the outside water fountain when we are on the fields. However, they may take their water bottle out if needed. Last year, water bottles were a huge distraction particularly in the gymnasium. This year we encourage students to leave their bottles in the locker room. If a student needs water, they may use the water fountains provided. The only exception to this rule will be when we go outside particularly on the Mile Run day.
All students in our Physical Education classes must have shoes that are made for athletic competition. The shoes must be able to be tied. Due to the activities played students must have proper, athletic shoes. Hiking boots, Toms, Bobs, Crocs, high platform tennis shoes may not be worn. If you have any questions, please contact me. I will be happy to assist.
Human Growth and Sexuality Exemption
The Sexual Health and Responsibility Education Unit will be taught December 1-12, 2025 by the PE department to students currently enrolled in PE. A general overview and outline of the district’s age appropriate, abstinence-based sexual health & responsibility education curriculum can be viewed on the district website under the Students & Parents Heading then scrolling to the Comprehensive Health & Physical Education link or by clicking on the link below. Complete details including the slide presentation and videos can be previewed at the school anytime during the school day if you would like to view it. If you do not want your child to participate in the sexual health & responsibility unit or a specific portion of the unit, you must bring the signed exemption form (https://drive.google.com/file/d/15V2cGQAtNc-3JGVJ69TJHLhi6jZoy98g/view) to the front office in person. By School Board Policy and SC Comprehensive Health Education Law, students who exempt sexual health & responsibility education will be required to complete other health-related self-study lessons.
