Central High School Physical Education
Program

PHYSICAL
EDUCATION PROGRAM - ½ Credit
(Full year alternate days)
16 quarters required for graduation
Physical education is an educational process
that focuses on increasing people’s
knowledge and affecting people’s attitudes
and behaviors relative to physical
activities, including exercise, sports,
games, dance and outdoor adventure
activities. In accepting its responsibility
as an integral part of the educational
process, the physical education department
recognizes that its efforts must contribute
to more than just the physical development
of the child. Physical education must
contribute to the child’s social maturity,
mental health and intellectual enhancement.

Selecting
of Activities
There is a rotating schedule for
selecting activities. The process starts
with the beginning of the alphabet. Students
with the last name beginning with “A” choose
first and work through the alphabet for the
first unit. The next unit the first to
choose are students with the last name
beginning with “I”, and the last unit of the
marking period, the first to choose are
students that last name begins with “R”.
This rotation continues for the 2nd, 3rd,
and 4th marking periods in the school year.
Fitness Testing
The Fitness assessment, for children and
youth in grades K through 12, is a well
established leader in the youth fitness
field. Children and youth are given valuable
feedback on ways to establish positive
exercise behavior geared to improving their
level of fitness.
Fitnessgram measures aerobic capacity, body
composition, and muscle strength, endurance
and flexibility. Instead of using percentile
norms to evaluate performance, Fitnessgram
uses objective criterion standards
representing healthy fitness levels.
Fitnessgram recognizes that educating
students about physical fitness, with an
emphasis on the continuing benefits of
exercising throughout life, is the most
important objective of a testing program.
Physical
Education Grading Policy
Every high school student must complete
sixteen quarters of physical education with
a passing grade of a “D” or better. If a
student fails one quarter, they must take a
double quarter sometime before their
graduation date.
Students are graded on each activity they
participate in and will receive a letter
grade ranging from A to F. They will be
given a quarterly grade computed from the
average of all activities they have
participated in.
It should be noted that the teacher listed
on the five week notices and report cards
may not be the instructor who teaches a
particular activity during that marking
period. This is due to our selective
curriculum program.
