Elementary physical education curriculum is based upon students’ motor, cognitive, social, and emotional development at each grade level.  Five themes which represent major movement concepts are central to the program:  locomotor skills, manipulative skills, non-manipulative skills, integrated movement, and personal  fitness.  Through structured, sequential learning experiences, students develop motor skills and an understanding of major fitness, safety, and physical activity concepts.  Each student is encouraged to work to his/her potential  while practicing and problem solving, both independently and with others.  Informal and formal assessments occur regularly and are used to share progress with students and guide teachers as they adjust instruction to benefit each individual.  Through successful participation in the elementary physical education program, students begin to acquire the concepts, competencies, and confidence which motivate regular participation in enjoyable and healthful physical activities.
