Niagara Wheatfield High School

Mission Statement:

Physical Education affords individuals the opportunity to learn the importance of teamwork, cooperation, self-discipline, respect, dedication, socialization skills, leadership, and commitment. These qualities are integrated into the physical education program on a daily basis through participation in “lifetime” activities.

Philosophy:

Physical Education will take place in a non-threatening atmosphere in which every student is challenged and has the opportunity to achieve success. Physical Education is an opportunity for students of all abilities to engage in a variety of activities to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.

Policies and Procedures:

1. ALL JEWELRY must be removed for a student to participate in physical education. Students who refuse to remove jewelry will be considered unprepared for class.
2. Students are expected to be on time for class. Excessive tardiness will result in detention.
3. Inappropriate language or obscene gestures will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action.
