​The goals for Physical Education at St Ignatius are:
  • To expose students to a variety of sports and activities that will promote both mental and physical fitness and that can be incorporated into an active life style.  
  • Sportsmanship – to practice fair play, win humbly, and participate to the very best of your ability
  • Cooperation – working together to accomplish goals
  • Fitness – building the strength and conditioning that allows students to lead an active lifestyle without limitations
  • Play – to have fun and develop an appreciation for physical activity
In grades PreK - 2, the focus will be on play, body movement, spatial awareness and cooperation with classmates. In grades 3 - 8, the focus will become more sports/activity oriented. Throughout the year, students will practice skills, techniques, and rules for many different sports and activities. These sports and activities will include but not be limited to the following:
Fitness testing
Flag football
Volleyball
Soccer 
Basketball
Pickleball
Bowling
​Street Hockey

Grading Requirements:
Effort and sportsmanship are the keys to success in my class. Students will not be graded on their athletic abilities. In order to encourage an appreciation for an active lifestyle and the benefits of physical activity for everyone, I base my grading on the following:
  • Dressing Down/Being Prepared For Class
  • Participation/Fitness Improvement
  • Encouraging Others/Positive Attitude
  • Active Listening/Following Rules & Directions
