Physical Education

Welcome

All Kindergarten, Elementary and Middle School students enrolled at FSDB participate in Physical Education classes (PE) daily. All students adhere to school rules in regards to being on time, dressing properly, participating in class activities, and showing respect to staff members and fellow students. PE teachers may have additional class rules specific to their classes and activities.

Curriculum

SWIMMING

The FSDB curriculum includes swimming for all Elementary and Middle School students as a part of our “Everyone is a Swimmer” program. We recommend one-piece swimsuits for girls. Students who prefer to use goggles, swim caps, and/or earplugs may bring them. Students must be prepared to swim on assigned swim days.

RUNNING

A cardiovascular fitness program is also part of the curriculum. Every student participates in a “Track Lap” activity at least one day a week by walking, jogging or running our one-quarter mile track as many laps as possible within the allotted class time.

HEALTH

High School students enrolled in the 9th grade are required to pass a one-semester Health Opportunities through Physical Education (HOPE) course to partially fulfill their graduation requirements. As part of the curriculum, classroom and homework assignments must be completed and turned in weekly. Students are required to attend class everyday in their PE uniforms, arrive prepared, and to take notes during lectures. Weekly tests are given and one-third of the course grade depends on test scores.
