Fitnessgram Physical Fitness Assessment
P.E. students at Maple School will be participating in fitness testing multiple times throughout the year. We will be following the Fitnessgram Assessments Program as required by the State of Illinois - Public Act 98-0859. The students will be tested in the following components: muscular endurance (push-ups and curl-ups), flexibility (sit and reach), and cardiovascular endurance/aerobic capacity (pacer). The testing will be completed over a four-day period during each quarter. If a student misses a test or multiple tests, they will be required to make them up at a later testing session.
Students will be graded on effort, participation, and all other Daily Mustang Points, and not graded on assessment results.
Students have the opportunity to earn 20 points during each individual testing session.
