Philosophy of Course:
In accordance with the National Physical Education Standards, the Richmond Middle School Physical Education program focuses on the pursuit of lifelong enjoyment of physical activity, and the acquisition of basic physical, social and emotional health concepts. Opportunities are provided to help foster responsible personal and social behavior. Being safe while physically active is of the utmost importance. A wide variety of units, used in conjunction with reflective practices, allows students to grow with an understanding of the broad spectrum of ways to benefit from physical activity. Students engage in physical education twice a week with opportunities for additional instruction.
