| Physical Education Policies: |
| Physical Education is an important part of the general educational program that contributes, primarily through movement experiences, to the total growth and development of each student. The California Physical Education Standards guide daily lessons. These learning standards are: motor skills and movement concepts; development, assessment and maintenance of health-related physical fitness and performance; personal responsibility and social interactions during physical activities. The goals of the physical education program are: |
| 1. To provide learning experiences that will help each student become competent in a wide variety of body management and physical skills. |
| 2. To provide students with the opportunity to develop and maintain an adequate level of health-related physical fitness. |
| 3. To provide students with the opportunity to gain knowledge related to individual and team sports, motor skill development, and fitness maintenance. |
| 4. To provide an environment where students can acquire desirable social standards and ethical concepts, such as good sportsmanship and fair play, cooperation, respect for others, and trying one’s best. |
| 5. To provide an environment where students can acquire knowledge of safety skills and habits, and develop an awareness of safety with respect to themselves and others. |
