Attention Parents/Learning Coaches of Digital Students Important Announcement
Please make sure that your child is logging in to the PE Google Classroom daily. On February 1st, students began learning the protocol and practicing for the FitnessGram assessment. Fitnessgram is a state-mandated fitness assessment for students in K-12. Kindergarten through 3rd-grade students are required to practice the proper protocol and report scores for height and weight. 4th and 5th-grade students are required to practice the proper protocol and report scores for all five components.
Fitnessgram testing will begin on February 22nd. All of the information needed to complete the practice and assessment can be found in the PE Google Classroom, which is why it is so important for you to check this daily. Please email or call if you need assistance regarding the Fitnessgram Assessment.
Thank you in advance,
