Ridgefield High School

Physical Education

Welcome Students and Parents!

		PE classes meet every day for one semester for .5 credit. The high school physical education program is the final component of the K-12 Ridgefield Public School’s Physical Education Curriculum and is a continuation of the K-8 Physical Education Program. Physical Education at Ridgefield High School is a comprehensive program that is beneficial to all students. Personal fitness needs and the how and why to lead a healthy and active lifestyle, lifetime sports, and individual and team sports instruction are just some of the physical education program activities covered at the high school level. The ninth and tenth grade physical education program allows each student to participate in activities directly focused on improving cardio respiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. Students will be given the opportunity to analyze the value of certain activities and how each activity enhances total fitness. For every class meeting students will use a portion of the class to further develop health-related fitness skills. Students will be able to interpret information from fitness tests and begin to design, with teacher guidance, a personal fitness program to achieve and maintain health-related fitness standards as measured by the Connecticut Physical Fitness Assessment (CPFA).
