Middle School

The curriculum at the middle school includes opportunities for students to become proficient in

a wide variety of movement forms (net/racket, target, team, outdoor pursuits, individual, and

dance) at modified levels of skill and complexity and to acquire beginning knowledge related to

assessing and developing personal fitness programs.

The curriculum of the effective physical education program offers opportunities for participation

and encourages students to participate in physical activities beyond the required physical

education program available to all students.

These are a few examples of additional physical activities in which students may become

involved:

l "Jump Rope for Heart," "Hoops for Heart"

l youth leagues, church leagues,

l community recreation,

l YMCA programs,

l intramurals,

l early-morning/after-school programs, and

l field days.
