HEALTH EDUCATION

Taught in Conjunction with PE Grades:7,8

The Health Education Program at Tri County will include students in grades 7-8 in conjunction with the Physical Education classes. The course will be taught in two sessions of about 15 days each; once in the fall and once in the spring. Health classes will meet on alternating days, every other week. Instructors will decide sessions dates.

The main objective of the Health Education Program is to make all students aware of the positive and negative approaches to one's physical, social, emotional, and mental health. This will mean a wide variety of subject matter which is to be used will be flexible as the needs arise. A basic knowledge of our mind and body and how it functions and other things which affect our total health are taught at each grade level at some time during the program.
