What does my child do in P.E.?

Physical Education is a mandatory part of the school curriculum.

It is also an ideal class in which to teach social skills, following directions, taking turns, and sportsmanship. P.E. is used as an ideal vehicle through which to teach life skills using sports and games as a means to learn skills necessary to be successful in life. For younger student's academic skills such as sequencing, following directions, learning left and right, and using sports to make learning fun are all incorporated into P.E. lessons. Older students will play soccer, flag football, basketball etc. and will learn to pick teams, play by the rules, and cooperate with teammates and the referee.
