K-5 Physical Education

The K-5 physical education program is a movement-based, integral component of the total educational experience.  The aim of physical education is the development of physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially fit citizens through the medium of physical activities.  All students will engage in movement and lifetime fitness activities at moderate to vigorous levels for a minimum of 50% of the instructional time. In addition, students have needs for respect, accomplishment, dignity, expression, and control of the body.  The ability to move well is an important part of developing self-confidence, and physical education can assist students in becoming efficient, effective, and expressive movers.  The K-5 physical education curriculum is aligned to the Nevada Academic Content Standards in Physical Education.
