PE Policies & Procedures

PVSD Physical Education Mission Statement

To offer a developmentally and age appropriate program designed to provide students with the knowledge and ability needed to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.  Physical Education is an integral part of a balanced education. It offers the opportunity for the development of not only the physical well-being, but also the mental and social well being.  A non-threatening, success oriented environment allows the goals of the school’s programs to be achieved. A healthy, balanced person is more likely to be successful in intellectual, social and emotional challenges.
