• Health & Physical Education

    Potowmack Elementary promotes practices that enhance students' safety and well-being; that support safe learning environments; and that improve nutrition and promote physical fitness through lifetime activities.

     

    Our Physical Education program is an integral part of the total educational process and significantly contributes in the areas of effective, cognitive, and psychomotor development. In addition to physical well-being, Physical Education assists the child in emotional, social, and moral growth.

    The sequential learning experiences designed to fulfill this development should be carefully planned, comprehensive, innovative, and intricately combined with teaching strategies. These approaches translate the relevant Physical Education concepts into meaningful and successful programs that meet the individual needs of each child.

     

    Students need to wear athletic shoes (not sandals, crocs, boots, no heeled shoes, open toed shoes).

    Shorts should be worn under any dresses or skirts.

    Long hair should be tied back.
