Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is FitnessGram?
    FitnessGram is a physical fitness assessment used in District 11 schools that is based not on athletic ability, but on good health. No matter what your children grow up to become, they will live happier, more productive lives if they are healthy--and physical fitness is vital to overall health. See the FitnessGram Parent Information for details.
  • How do I get a waiver for health reasons?
    If you have to miss class for one or two days due to an illness or injury,  parents can excuse the student from activity by addressing a note to the physical education instructor. If the student has to miss class for more than a week due to an injury or illness, a medical note form a doctor will be needed.
  • How do I make up an absence in PE class?
    Students have the opportunity to make up an excused absence. They should make arrangements with their individual instructor. The make up policy should be reviewed on the first day of class.

Parents

District 11 is committed to providing a Quality Physical Education Program & Health, taught by a qualified instructor.  We join you in valuing your child's health and wellness.  You can support what your child is learning in Health and P.E. classes by:
*  asking him or her to demonstrate some of the skills they have learned in class.
*  emphasizing the importance of having fun in physical activity, avoiding the "need to win."
*  using physical activity rather than food as a reward. (i.e. extra minutes of play time, taking a family bike ride, etc)
*  balancing television/computer time with healthy activities
*  adapt activities for children with special needs or preferences
We also invite you to attend your child's After School Fitness for Life Activities, Annual School Track or Field Day, and the District Annual Track and Field Festival at Berry Stadium. Together, we can build a generation of healthy minds and bodies.
