A planned program of physical education activities is offered that contributes to the individual’s overall development.  The program will include activities in team sports, lifetime sports, and individual sports, with major emphasis placed on physical fitness.

           A sequential program of health units is offered.  These programs contribute to  personal and community health and encompass mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and physical part of a human being.

 ADAPTED PHYSICAL FITNESS

  The Hamburg Area School District provides a program of adapted physical fitness for students not able to participate in the regular curriculum.

               Students with a significant chronic or lengthy (4 weeks or more) disability will be processed into the adapted program.  The physical fitness teacher will handle those with minor medical problems or with incapacities of short duration on a day-by-day basis.

               The school nurse will be the person to make the determination as to whether or not a student is provided an adapted physical fitness program.  This determination will be made based upon information provided by the student’s physician, parent, teacher and an examination of the child’s condition.

               The purpose of adapted physical fitness is to provide a program of activities appropriate to the child’s needs and abilities.  It is not to offer therapy or remediation for the child’s condition – although these may result from the physical activities in which a student is engaged.
