Middle School Health

     The goal of the Middle School Health Curriculum is to provide students with age appropriate information.  This knowledge will help the students make healthy decisions while being aware of their social, emotional and physical well being.  

     The Middle School Health Curriculum provides three years of Health and is aligned with the 2021 Healthy and Balanced Curriculum Framework.  The teachers create and promote a positive class environment which fosters a positive rapport with the students and the teacher.  This aids in understanding each student’s learning needs to ensure all students' are being appropriately challenged and can demonstrate academic growth.  

     Each grade level has specific topics for Health.  The information is presented in a variety of instructional strategies including the use of media, lecture, class discussions and student projects.  The students are assessed on vocabulary, value statements, participation and self-assessments.
