Letter to parents and gurardians

Hello Parents and Guardians -

This week your child will be bringing home their report cards along with the Physical Education School fitness assessment results. The students were tested on the five components of Health-Related fitness: Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Cardio-Respiratory Endurance and Body Composition and Flexibility. The Pittsfield Public Schools, through the Carol White PEP Grant, have been stressing Balancing the Equation which is Physical Activity + Proper Nutrition = Total Health. If your child is missing one or more tof the tests it is because they were either absent or chose not to do the test. Students will be tested again throughout the school year. The staff is hopeful to see an increase in the student's fitness levels. The Physical Education Dept. offers daily opportunities for students to exercise after school Monday through Friday in the Fitness Center and through intramural activities held on Tuesday and Thursday. Please encourage your child to attend after school activities. Any questions please call the physical education department at 499-9535 x2035.

Thank You,

Physical Education Staff at PHS
