Penn Yan Central School District Physical Education

Mission Statement

The Mission of Physical Education in the Penn Yan Central School District is based upon the acquisition of knowledge and skills that are the foundation for engaging in physical activity.

The focus of Physical Education lessons is to educate as well as empower all students, as independent learners, to sustain regular, lifelong physical activity as one of the cornerstones for a healthy, productive and fulfilling life.

The Penn Yan Central School District Physical Education curriculum is a sequential program of age appropriate units and lessons. Through participation students will gain an understanding of the health-related benefits associated with life-long activity.

Classes are undertaken in an active, caring, supportive and non-threatening atmosphere in which every student is challenged to grow. In addition, intra-class drills, activities and games are designed to maximize success for both individuals and groups. Every student regardless of ability is provided with an experience that allows for maximum participation.
