Welcome to the Physical Education & Health Department
The ÁùºÏ±¦µä ISD Physical Education and Health Department inspires students to make healthy decisions, develop social skills and pursue lifelong physical fitness.
To support the development of the whole child, all ÁùºÏ±¦µä campuses participate in the Coordinated School Health initiative. CSH advances student academic performance by helping students establish healthy behaviors designed to last their lifetime.
Please be advised that an age-appropriate human sexuality and responsibility unit focusing on health, safety and well-being is also taught to ÁùºÏ±¦µä ISD K-12 students. HSR lessons are taught to those students in grades K-12 whose parent(s) or legal guardian(s) have provided written permission by way of the opt-in or permission letter. This letter is sent home by the student’s campus leadership or classroom teacher three weeks prior to the beginning of the HSR unit. Implementation is slated to take place annually in November/December, with students enrolled in the spring semester of high school health receiving it in April/May. Please visit the human sexuality and responsibility webpage for more information.
