Hope Christian School

P.E. Classes


(R) connotes a Required course.  (E) connotes an Elective course.
 


Hope requires all students to take P.E. from the elementary level through the 8th grade.  Physical activity and sports are emphasized at all levels to promote the physical and mental health of our students.

We have many cases of students with asthma or other chronic ailments.  Teachers will do their very best to insure that students are not required to exercise to a point of hurting the student.  If a student has a physical ailment which will prevent him/her from doing strenuous exercise (at any grade level), it is the parent’s responsibility to inform the school of such an ailment.

Students in grades 6th - 8th who are enrolled in P.E. are given a mini-session on health fitness each year by their teacher.
