*The primary goal of the Smithtown Elementary Physical Education Program is to promote lifelong physical activity.  By providing students with a variety of enjoyable, developmentally appropriate learning experiences, it is our hope that they will choose to make movement a part of their lives beyond P.E. class.  We enjoy working as a team with students and their families to make our community a healthy and happy place! 

Our classes meet twice a week for 40 minutes each class.

Physical education goals:

·  Provide students with an opportunity to try a variety of physical activities

·  Help students recognize the importance of making safe, healthy choices

·  Encourage personal and social responsibility

·  Allow students to experience the many rewards of physical activity

·  HAVE FUN!!

Because our learning often includes movement, it is important for students to help create a safe environment.  This can be achieved through student cooperation with the following guidelines.

Each student is expected to:

• Be a good listener and follow directions
• Show good sportsmanship
• Be safe
• Participate in all activities

As in any class, students will find success more easily if they are prepared. This includes; coming to class ready to try your best, cooperating with others, and demonstrating good sportsmanship. Last, but not least.....always bring your sneakers!

Help advocate for daily, quality P.E. for your child.  Check out the National Association for Sport and Physical Education website and see how you can get involved.  www.naspeinfo.org
