Randolph Physical Education The P.E. curriculum is developed from 6 PE Standards (www.georgiastandards.org) Students in Grades 1-5 will be participating in the FITNESSGRAM® assessment (Grades 4-5 will receive score reports). Students should always wear the appropriate attire to Physical Education. Beginning in the Fall of 2011, students in grades 1-12 will be fitness tested annually. In grades 1-3, students will be familiarized with the different assessments and height and weight measures will be aggregated for surveillance purposes. In grades 4-12, students in a physical education class will participate in the complete fitness assessment. The assessment will be administered by a trained and certificated PE teacher. Individual results will be shared with you as parents/guardians. This is important because it will allow you as your child’s parent or care taker, to be aware of his/her fitness levels in different areas and set goals or work toward improvement with the ultimate goal of promoting a healthy active lifestyle that promotes health and fitness for your child. FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY in case you are asked. This requirement is a result of House Bill 229 which directed the Georgia Department of Education to establish a state wide fitness assessment program for Georgia schools. Fitness testing is NOT new to Georgia schools. Health related fitness testing has been a part of the health and physical education curriculum for years.
