What this document actually says
This policy, last revised September 2022, establishes Reed Union's commitment to physical education and activity for all students. It requires high-quality PE instruction for grades 1-12 with equal access regardless of gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, or disability. Classes must be taught by credentialed teachers and align with state standards. The district must administer FITNESSGRAM fitness testing annually to 5th and 7th graders. During poor air quality or extreme weather, PE staff must adapt programs or find alternative indoor spaces. Students with disabilities receive PE instruction according to their IEP or 504 plan. The Superintendent reports annually to the Board on fitness test results, instructional minutes, exemptions granted, and program effectiveness. The policy supports the district's overall student wellness program and aims to encourage lifelong fitness habits.
What this means for your family
Your child receives regular, inclusive PE instruction taught by qualified teachers, regardless of ability, gender identity, or physical limitations. Fifth and seventh graders take annual fitness tests (FITNESSGRAM). PE continues even during poor air quality or weather through adapted programs or indoor alternatives. Students with IEPs or 504 plans receive appropriate PE accommodations. Exemptions from PE are possible under specific circumstances (two-year temporary or permanent). This policy ensures every child has equal opportunity for physical activity and fitness education.
