Heritage K-8 Charter School

"Education Is Our Business"

Heritage K-8 Physical Education Program

Physical Education is an important part of a student’s education. Physical Education class is not only an opportunity for students to improve coordination, strengthen muscles, and increase endurance, but also a time to get outside, get some fresh air, and release some energy. This allows students to better focus on material being presented in the classroom as they learn the skills of reading, writing, mathematics, science and social studies. In addition, physical activity improves an individual’s health and well being, which enables students to enjoy and participate in activities outside the school environment.

Two primary goals of the Heritage K-8 Physical Education Program are to increase or improve the physical fitness of our students and to improve the understanding and skills needed to participate in games taught in Physical Education, e.g., volleyball, basketball, etc.

Depending on the grade level, Physical Education activities will be coordinated by the classroom teacher or the Physical Education teacher.
