All students will be physically educated, having acquired motor skills to perform a variety of physical activities, physical fitness knowledge, and intrinsic motivation to pursue a healthy and active lifestyle in an increasingly changing society. The purpose of the physical education program is to contribute to each student's growth and development in the physical, cognitive, and social domains through a movement-based curriculum. This involves delivery of a planned, sequential K-12 instructional program that teaches skills, behaviors, and knowledge. These are necessary to function at an adequate level of competence enabling each student to be an active, physically and mentally fit individual throughout life. Not only does it contribute to the overall goals of education, but also contributes to the development and maintenance of fitness, motor skills, social skills, health, and brain development.
Physical activity is the method by which learning takes place.
We believe that all students, within their abilities, will learn and achieve. We have made every reasonable attempt to ensure that our school system's web pages are educationally sound and do not contain links to any questionable material or anything that can be deemed in violation of the BCPS Telecommunications Policy.
