Middle School Physical Education

Healthy Active Children Policy http://www.nchealthyschools.org/components/healthyactivechildrenpolicy

The Healthful Living program in Middle School is designed to help each student develop proactive health promotion behaviors. Students should develop positive attitudes toward regular physical activity and its effect on health. Students learn to be aware of the important health risks for their age group and learn to appraise their own health and fitness status, healthful behavior, and potential for health risk. They learn the principles of exercise and diet that contribute to the development of personal fitness.

Middle school physical education classes offer students a wide variety of sports experiences. Our students do traditional sports of basketball, volleyball, soccer, and cross country/running. Some schools offer Ultimate Games, Floor Hockey, Step Aerobics, Low Ropes Activities, Omniken Ball Games, Fitness Stations, and Quiz Bowl Games to mention a few!

All schools have dress out policies where students either use school uniforms or change into shorts/shirts from home, and students have physical education or health every day. Schools are using Energizer Activities in the classrooms to promote movement within the academic environment to get the students up and moving to increase those brain chemicals to improve "time on task" and, therefore, improve learning!
