Fitness Testing
Throughout the year we will be participating in the Presidential Challenge. The Presidential Challenge consists of several different tests, these tests include an endurance run, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, shuttle run, and a sit/reach test. If the students achieve a score high enough that places them into the Presidential Physical fitness category then they will receive a Presidential Physical Fitness certificate. If the students are able to reach the National standards for physical fitness, then those students will receive a certificate of achievement for the National Level. For more information about the Presidential Challenge, what the tests look like, what your student has to do to reach a National, and or Presidential level please look here.
Some of the Physical Fitness tests require the student’s to peer assess one another. Through the peer assessment evalutations, students’ learn honesty, responsibility, integrity, leadership, and trustworthiness. If I ever question a student or students’ score that was given through peer evaluation, then I will personally retest them.
Students will be participating in each of the fitness tests twice throughout the year. Each of the tests will be administered be for winter break, then again in the spring. This will allow for students to try each test twice, as well as see growth in themselves. A progress report with their Fall scores will go out the week before break. Another report will go home during the last few weeks of school.
If you would like to talk with me about your student’s progress please feel free to email me at [email protected] or call the main office.
