Physical Education

To ensure the health and wellness of our students and compliance with TEA physical education requirements:

• All students in PE grades K-12, including students with disabilities, special health-care needs, and in alternative educational settings, will receive an average of 135 minutes/week of physical education for Academy students and 225 minutes/ 2 weeks for College Preparatory students. In addition to these structured PE requirements, students should be offered at least one physical activity opportunity each day. This can include, but is not limited to, recess, afterschool clubs, sports team, “Walk-to-School” programming, etc.
• Students will spend at least 50% of physical education class time participating in moderate to vigorous physical activity.
• All students taking PE will be evaluated twice a year using Fitness Gram to evaluate for performing in the Healthy Fitness Zone. (Pretest and Posttest)
