Physical Education
Physical Education is required for
all students from kindergarten through grade nine. The
kindergarten curriculum is taught by the student's
regular kindergarten teacher. Physical Education is
taught by Maryland Certified Physical Education teachers
in grades one through nine.
Elementary students receive a
minimum of 60 minutes of instruction per week. Middle
school students receive a minimum of nine weeks of
instruction and, depending on the size of the school, up
to 27 weeks. High school ninth graders are required to
pass a one semester (half credit) course in Lifetime
Fitness to graduate. Physical Education is an elective
for grades 10-12 with weight training and conditioning
being a popular course.
Dance
Dance education is incorporated
into the physical education curriculum at the elementary
and middle school levels. It is taught by physical
education teachers at those levels. The program becomes
very specialized in high school and is a popular
elective.
The dance program is a three level
course progression: Introduction to Dance, Intermediate
Dance and Advanced/Dance Company.
