In Physical Education, student performance is shared with parents three times per year via a trimester progress report.  Student growth is reported in four assessed content areas and students earn one of three performance descriptors for each area.  The assessment descriptors use the National & State grade level outcomes as a reference guide.

Assessed Content Areas

Competency in Motor Skills

Cognitive Understanding

Effort & Participation
