Abingdon High School Physical Education 2009-2010
Two years of physical education/health are required for graduation in the state of Virginia. Abingdon High School’s physical education program is a two year program for the 9th and 10th grades always with an emphasis on a safe learning environment. Students will have health included in their physical education experience during their freshman year followed by driver education their sophomore year. Our program also offers two non-credit athletic study halls, and an advanced physical education course that is only open to seniors. Our expectations apply to all of our students throughout the school year. Participate, be on time, keep up with daily assignments, make up any missed work. Keep a notebook exclusively for health and driver education. Be respectful to your community, peers, teachers, and yourself!
Course Descriptions
The physical education department will be following Washington County Public Schools’ grading scale and policies for all classes. Physical Education for 9th and 10th grades will be held in the gym or outdoors depending on the scheduled activities. Themes include focus on individual, team, and lifetime activities with an emphasis on total wellness (cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility and safety) of each student. Assessment for physical education for 9th and 10th is based primarily on (but is not limited to) participation- which includes dressing out.
Health is primarily for 9th grade students. The health program is divided into five major categories: alcohol and other drugs, consumer health, disease prevention and control, first aid, and personal health and wellness with an emphasis on nutrition.
Advanced Physical Education is for seniors only. It is designed to teach life-long wellness skills with a focus on individual activities. Assessment for advanced physical education is based primarily on (but is not limited to) participation.
