PHYSICAL EDUCATION


Valley View Community School offers a physical education program that provides planned activities designed to increase students' coordination, manipulative skills, and motor skill development. Students enjoy a variety of rhythmic activities, planned instruction, and games designed to develop the students' abilities. Students should progress from individual-centered play to cooperative-competitive play. Instruction emphasizes physical fitness and the importance of an active lifestyle. For safety reasons, all students must wear sneakers during physical education. 


All students in grades K-3 participate in the once a week program unless excused for a physical condition, illness, or absence. A one-day excuse from physical education class will be issued on receipt of a note written and properly signed by the parent/guardian.


Students who have been excused from physical education for an extended period of time (medical disability) must present a physician’s statement that the student is physically able to return to gym class.
