District Philosophy And Goals
1. District Philosophy – Physical education is an integral part of the total educational
program. It is that phase of education, which provides an opportunity, through activity,
for physical, mental, and social development and improvement of the individual to meet
the challenge of life.
Physical education plays an important role in the development of the
whole individual with an activity for every boy and girl and a program of
physical fitness that will place students in the best physical condition. The
program strives to develop physical activities, skills, knowledge,
emotional stability, a spirit of fair play, a sense of accomplishment, and
provides the experience of having competition with other classmates.
The physical education program aims for a strong, health body and mind
that are coordinated to meet life’s physical and mental demands.
The foundation of the physical education program is activity:
a. Activity involves doing, not lengthy explanations.
b. During activity students may be in a variety of different settings both
inside and outside to meet desired objectives.
c. Activity can include a repetition of skills and knowledge through
competition.
d. Activity is fun and reduces the inhibitions of students.
Physical education includes many activities that will enable the student to
carry over
into adult life interests, attitudes, and skills that will help him to enjoy
fully a healthy,
wholesome life and worthy use of leisure time.
2. District Goals -
a. The student is knowledgeable regarding physical fitness in order to
maintain a high state of physical fitness.
b. The student is knowledgeable about the basic structures and functions
of the human body.

physical education activities and sports.
d. The student values participation in sports and other activities
throughout life.

participating in physical education activities and sports.
f. The student is knowledgeable about rules and is able to apply
strategies in a variety of physical education activities and sports.

good sportsmanship, and respect for others that enable
him/her to work and play with others for common goals.

D. Adapted Physical Education
a. Integration: Students are mainstreamed into PE class when possible to create
the least restrictive environment. If necessary, a student aide assists the PE staff.
b. Special Classes: Many situations require students to have an individual
adapted physical education (APE) program per a student’s IEP. This class will be
provided by certified physical education staff. Examples of individual adapted
physical education plans are in Appendix .
c. Classroom Aides: If a student has an aide assigned to them, the aide follows
the student in the regular PE class and in the APE setting.
d. APE evaluation- Effectiveness of the adapted PE\integrated classes will be
monitored by the PE staff and the annual review of each APE students IEP.
E. Attendance Policy
See Appendix B, C, and D for attendance policy, parent notes, dressing for class,
doctors notes etc…
F. Grading Policy

G. Personnel
Pavilion Central School has a part-time athletic director, a department head, and a
director of PE who is the current high school principal. The director of PE has all
of the certifications required to be an administrator in the district.
At Pavilion Central School all physical education classes are taught by NYS
certified physical education teachers. There is one full time and one part time PE
teacher at D. Bunce Elementary School. At the Jr/Sr. High School there are 3
full-time PE teachers and one part-time PE teacher. PE personnel are encouraged
to attend the NYS Health and Physical Education conference that is held annually.
Classroom teachers at D. Bunce Elementary School are required to supplement
the PE that students are receiving with 30 minutes of PE on non PE days. This
will be done under the supervision of qualified PE teachers and will be
documented in the teachers plan book. Plan books will be collected by the
building administrator and checked for accuracy.
H. Facilities
Pavilion Central School District has a number of teaching stations available
through the year for its students.
a. Elementary facilities include: cinder track, soccer field, baseball field, fitness
trail, elementary school gymnasium, play ground, rock wall (traversing).

fitness room, weight room, baseball field, softball field, multipurpose field,
outdoor basketball court, tennis courts, and an all-weather track.

long as there are no classes taking place or any interscholastic competitions.
I. Administrative Procedures/Policies
a. Physicals: See coaching requirements in Appendix E.
b. Fitness testing: PE staff will administer the Fitness Gram test in the fall and
spring of every year. All results will be sent home to parents in a letter that
outlines the results of the test and their implications. The mile run time will also
be used in the fall and in the spring as part of a students grade.
c. Class size and grouping: All PE classes are to have no more that 25 students
in each individual class when possible. PE classes are coed unless a unit of study
would required it to be non-coed (i.e. Wrestling).
d. Use of non-school facilities: It is not the practice of the Pavilion Central
School District to use any non-school facilities for implementation of the PE
curriculum. Non-school facilities are used in special circumstances, for instance
field trips that would require the use of non-school facilities.
e. Supplemental Personnel: the Pavilion Central School District does not use
any supplemental personnel during PE classes unless required by a students' IEP.
Any supplemental personnel that may be used would need to be approved by the
Board of Education.
f. Summer school is not offered at Pavilion Central School for PE.
Safety:
Physical education instruction requires that safety practices be designed and
implemented. All activities should be conducted in safe and healthful
environments. Safety in physical education is more than proper matting, or
equipment; it is an attitude that must be instilled into each participant.
A safe attitude leads to sound safety practices, where students and teachers
work together to prevent injuries. Students are encouraged to participate
safely and are rewarded for following proper safety rules and practices.
Several factors should be considered when formulating rules and guidelines
concerning safety, such as:
Clothing – all students participating in PE and other extracurricular sports, are
required to wear sneakers and to remove all jewelry.
Supervision – all aspects of the program (class instruction, intramural,
extramural, interscholastic) must be carefully supervised. Mandatory
supervision of locker rooms is of particular importance since accidents often
occur there.
Equipment and Facilities – All equipment and facilities must be checked on
a regular basis. Athletic fields, gymnasiums, weight rooms, and other indoor
and outdoor activity areas must be carefully inspected by qualified personnel.
Once completed, areas, apparatus, and equipment found in need of repair
should be repaired before they are used by participants.
Organization – Sound organizational procedures tend to reduce injuries.
Programs should be planned to provide a variety of experiences and meet the
needs of each student.
Selection of Activities – Activities should be appropriate for the motivational
and skill levels of students. Teaching progressions should be followed, and
students should have basic competencies before they are permitted to attempt
intermediate and advanced skills. The skill or activity being taught should be
appropriate for each student.
The health, welfare, and safety of students should be the first consideration in
planning all aspects of the physical education.
h. Alternative Physical Education: As a district we do not subscribe to the
philosophy of offering a waiver for physical education. Every student is expected
to participate in physical education on a yearly basis.
J. Athletics

School regardless of athletic ability or special needs. They will be grouped
