Dear Parents: Welcome Monte Vista Middle School. Our department is pleased to have your child be part of our exciting Physical Education program during the school year. This year in Physical Education, your child will be participating in exciting and perhaps different units. In other words, not just the traditional sports. The emphasis for 6th grade will be on “cooperative challenges”, 7th grade will focus on “individual challenges” and the 8th grade emphasis will be “working as a team to solve problems.” Students will be striving to reach their personal best in both group and individual activities. These units have been specially designed and we feel the program will motivate and challenge your child to be successful. Physical Education standards have been developed to encompass more than just “playing”. The curriculum incorporates responsibility, leadership, sportsmanship, knowledge of game, terminology, and skill development.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION MAKES EVERY CHILD STRONGER AND EVERY LIFE LONGER!
