Physical Education
To meet the needs and interests of the student body, a variety of Physical Education (PE) courses are offered. Classes consist of co-educational activities geared to all skill levels. All PE courses meet on alternate days for a full year except dance classes, which meet daily.
All students registered in New York State schools are required by NYS Education Law to attend classes of instruction in physical education. One course must be taken in each of the grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 to earn the two credits required for graduation. An adaptive program will be offered for students with IEPs. Failure of any course (9, 10, 11, and 12) mandates repeating Physical Education during summer school or the next school year.
All 9th and 10th grade students must enroll in General Physical Education, Dance, Aquatics or Advanced Aquatics. Each 11th and 12th grade student must choose an elective and an alternate course in case their first choice cannot be scheduled. No request for change in a Physical Education course will be accepted if a student has been successfully scheduled for either his/her first choice or alternate.
