PE Unit Plans
Students are offered a variety of challenging activities with an emphasis on fitness for life. In middle school, health and physical education classes are offered every other day.
Iron Stingray
Iron Stingray is an elite status for our students who have excelled in the national fitness tests. If a student completes the required score for each fitness test, they are honored as an "Iron Stingray" and will receive an Iron Stingray t-shirt. Each student will have three official opportunities each school year to complete these tests. Below are the required tests and scores for Iron Stingray:
| Push Ups | Curl Ups | Pacer |
Boys | 40 | 80 | 100 |
Girls | 30 | 80 | 85 |

A doctor’s note must be presented to the physical education teacher for any absence beyond 3 consecutive PE blocks. The doctor’s note must include a checklist of activities that the student may participate in while recovering from the illness or injury.
