Physical Education 7:  The state framework, Healthy Kids/Healthy California, is the basis for the course standards in grades 7 and 8.  The focus is on physical fitness and skills development in a variety of team and individual sports and recreational activities.  An emphasis is placed on working cooperatively, following directions, playing safely, and living healthy.  Students will evaluate their fitness level and learn techniques to improve areas of weakness. Locks and lockers are provided in the dressing rooms.

Health 8 (one trimester):  The one-trimester health education component of Healthy Kids/Healthy California is integrated into the physical education program during grade 8.  Units of study are designed to develop knowledge that will enable students to choose healthful behaviors that avoid risk situations.  These include building relationships within and outside the family, caring for the human body, human growth and development, and coping with health problems in a contemporary society.  Drug, alcohol, and tobacco awareness studies empower students to develop improved decision-making skills.

Unified Physical Education (PE): is a trimester course designed to give general education students with strong leadership qualities, the opportunity to access a standards-based curriculum, while working alongside students with special needs. Unified PE joins students with and without disabilities as teammates in the same class while differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students. Our program promotes and encourages understanding, acceptance, and friendship among students, using the power of the Special Olympics. Unified PE allows students to assist the PE teacher in a variety of duties.
