2023-2024 PE Goals

Our Physical Education Department goal for the 2023 - 2024 school year is to improve the muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance of our students.  We are tracking the improvement in these areas based on students' performances on the Connecticut Physical Fitness Assessment.  The time dedicated in P.E. to improve these areas is not enough to allow the students to experience maximum success.  Working on improving these areas of fitness at home will help the students succeed.
