SKSPE Philosophy
We, the physical educators of Salem-Keizer Schools, strongly believe that the physical education curriculum provides a framework based on the premise that the quality and the productivity of each individual life can be enhanced through participation in a comprehensive, sequential physical education system that promotes physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being.

Physical education provides the opportunity for a student to become physically educated.

The physically educated person is one who has learned motor and self-management skills necessary to perform a variety of physical activities, knows the implication of and the benefits of physical fitness, participates regularly in physical activity, and understands that all are intimately related to an individual’s health, physical, and social well-being.
