What are your goals in PE?

My goals as a PE teacher are to teach your child the basic knowledge about exercising nutrition, health and wellness. I want the students to have a understanding of what a healthy lifestyle is and know how to make wise decisions. I also would like the students to obtain a beginning level of understanding and movement in all sports and skills. The students should leave our school with a good basis of knowledge about all sports, activities and health.

How are students assessed in PE?

In Physical Education everyone is expected to try and participate!

Students are graded on a variety of concepts and skills that are aligned with the PE TEKS, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, as well as the AARC for Round Rock ISD.

In 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, students earn letter grades such as "E", "S", "N", and "U". 

"E" stands for EXCEEDING grade level expectations.  

"S" stands for SATISFACTORY which means that a student is meeting grade level expectations.  

"N" stands for NEEDS IMPROVEMENT which means that a student is struggling with meeting grade level expectations.  

"U" stands for UNSATISFACTORY which means that a student is performing below grade level expectations.   

In Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade, students earn numerical grades such as "1", "2", and "3". ​

"1" (Limited Progress) stands for experiencing difficulty meeting expectations of grade level TEKS. Students exhibit skills/concepts with direct guidance and participate with direct guidance.  

"2" (Approaching Standard) stands for making progress toward mastering grade level TEKS. Students exhibit skills/concepts with minimal guidance and participate with minimal guidance.  

"3" (Mastered Standard) stands for consistently mastering grade level TEKS. Students exhibit mastery of skills/concepts and participate fully in activities.
