SHPA students have physical education regularly. Our PE program is designed to reflect National Standards for growth and development in the areas of physical fitness, social and emotional health, motor skill acquisition, and intellectual skill and concept development. The body’s response to physical exercise improves student performance and success in the classroom by stimulating brain function, visual and physical acuity; physical, mental, and social health is also improved.
Physical Education Standards
Demonstrate competency in a variety of motor skills and movement patterns.
Apply knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement and performance.
Demonstrate the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness.
Exhibit responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others.
Recognize the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and social interaction.
Grading System
70% participation based on daily activities and sportsmanship/behavior
30% classwork based on quiz results
Activities
