Physical Education is an integral part of the total educational
program of each student in our district. Through the medium of sport and movement
all students will participate in a sequential, differentiated program that
fosters each student's personal health, fitness and safety. Through exposure
to a wide variety of activities, students will gain the necessary knowledge
to understand the importance of and make educated decisions around opportunities
to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The West Irondequoit School District is committed to and supports
the development of a positive and appropriate values driven education. Social
skills which include but are not limited to respect, cooperation, communication,
teamwork and sportsmanship are an important aspect of the Physical Education
curriculum and will be directly taught throughout the student's school career.
The values, principles and concepts associated with a quality
physical education program surpass the boundaries of the gymnasium and playing
fields. Physical activity is a catalyst for learning in all content areas.
Our West Irondequoit school district is committed to providing programming
in physical education which allows frequent and diverse opportunities to engage
in physical activities necessary to support a healthy mind and body.
