2019-2020 Health Updates
-
Health Parent meeting for Family Life and Human Sexuality unit will be on September 4, 2019 before Back to School Night at 5:30pm in the Media Center.
-
In years past, students needed parent permission to participate in the Family Life and Human Sexuality unit. MCPS has now made participation in the unit “passive.” This means students are automatically enrolled in the unit unless the permission form is returned back with “opt out” of the unit. Each student will receive the letter home for families to view.
-
6th graders do not participate in the Family Life and Human Sexuality unit.

Every student will complete a Personal Fitness Plan twice during the year in Physical Education. Every student will also complete a Health Design Project during their quarter in Health.

How can your child be successful in Physical Education? In order to be successful in Physical Education, students need to try their best on every activity/sport that we cover. It is important that students change their clothes, so they are participating safely. Students also need to complete all homework assignments and projects to the best of their ability. Lastly, students need to demonstrate an effort to improve each skill and movement concept that we cover during the year.
How can your child be successful in Health? In order to be successful in Health, students must complete all classwork, homework, projects, etc. by the assigned due date. Our teachers are implementing engaging lessons in order for the content to be learned successfully. It is important that all students engage in the lessons and try their best on every activity or assignment. It is also important for every student to complete their Health Design assignment. Similar to Physical Education, students need to try their best in order to be successful.
