The High School Physical Education program is a semi-elective program designed to give physical education classes, as well as the individual student, the opportunity to pursue his or her own needs and interests in physical education. The program consists of nine blocks, approximately four weeks in duration. Because team sports and lifetime fitness activities are offered in each block, individual students are provided with the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities throughout his or her high school career. The program is designed to meet the needs and interests of all students involved, and to fulfill the requirements for physical education as established by the Commissioner of Education, the New York State Learning Standards, the National Physical Education Standards, and the Common Core Learning Standards.
The Physical Education program will provide opportunities for skill progression and focus on differentiated instruction in order to maintain and improve the overall physical fitness of the students involved. The program will be challenging to each student, so that individuals will develop positive attitudes toward physical activities to facilitate lifelong fitness and wellness. A general awareness of physical well-being should be the ultimate goal of the student and is the goal the physical education program. Scheduling and class size may curtail the elective process for some students, but the ultimate goals will remain the same. Adaptive Physical Education will be offered to those students identified by the staff.
