Physical Education (PE) is a core class at all Arlington schools, and is valuable for the physical, emotional, behavioral, and social health of all students. During our recent triennial review, our Wellness team determined to emphasize the importance of formal physical education, particularly at the secondary level.
Opportunities for fitness activities beyond PE include recess, classroom movement opportunities, passing periods, before and after school activities, stretch breaks, field trips, JROTC, clubs, and unstructured play time.
