Austin Elementary Physical Education

Mission Statement

The purpose of our program is to provide all students with the knowledge, skills, and desire to live a healthy and physically active life.

Physical Education activities are planned and conducted using the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) which is a guide for developing our curriculum with the proper alignment of scope and sequence. In addition to addressing psychomotor activities and cognitive awareness, all students are encouraged to display good sportsmanship and teamwork.

In addition to the "regular" activities, we also provide the opportunity to participate in optional activities that encompass goals and standards that pertain to our program. These activities include but are not limited to...Punt, Pass, and Kick, McMurry 5000 Road Race, Jump Rope and Hoops for Heart, Kindergarten PE Program, all school PE Extravaganza, Dance-Dance Revolution, traverse climbing wall, and the Fifth Grade Track Meet. Wellness Wednesday is our running program that all our students get to participate in every Wednesday to promote cardiovascular fitness.
