Physical Education & Health

 

Our goal in Physical education is for students to make healthy choices and feel successful when participating in a variety of activities. We aim to develop and improve students' personal fitness and motor skills by providing developmentally appropriate activities through purposeful, innovative and enjoyable instruction. By incorporating challenging yet achievable tasks, the students will attain positive attitudes about physical activity and movement.

State Law requires 135 minutes of physical activity for elementary students, 4 semesters of physical education for middle school students, and 1 year of physical education for high school students.

Our school district participates in the Let's Move Active Schools program that strives to have children physically active for 60 minutes a day. This year, we will be participating in the Fuel Up To Play 60 program that complements our existing physical activity and coordinated school programs.

Students in grades 3rd-12th are required to take the Fitnessgram exam, the state mandated physical fitness exam. The Fitnessgram exam components consist of the body mass index, aerobic capacity, abdominal strength and endurance, upper body strength and endurance, trunk extensor strength and flexibility.

Edinburg C.I.S.D is looking forward to providing your child with an exciting and rewarding physical education program. The physical education classes will prove to be an integral part in your child's physical and social development. We are committed to giving students the best instruction possible and making physical education and enjoyable experience.

 

Welcome to the Edinburg CISD Athletic website. Here at Edinburg CISD we are very excited with high expectations for our Athletic programs this 2016-2017 season. Our district has now become the second largest in the Rio Grande Valley. Currently, we have approximately over 5,000 student/athletes participating in athletics in grades seven through twelve. We have over 300 athletic positions that include, administrative staff, coaches, athletic trainers, and support personnel that help provide the guidance and leadership necessary to maintain our successful programs.

Our school District is comprised of one (4) 6A High Schools and seven (7) middle schools, along with thirty-one (31) Elementary, in a school district that has over 33,000 students. To keep up with all our Athletic needs in the areas of facilities and resources we have initiated and have completed the following projects: 1) Implementation of a new State of the art Scoreboard (dimensions of the LED Video Display, 336x600), provided by Daktronics 2) Renovating our public restrooms for both visitors and home side spectators.
