Vision for a Healthier, More Active, and More Productive Student

Health and Physical Education play a valued and vital role in providing a quality, balanced education for all Parkway students.  The development of fitness and health skills are essential to the health, productivity, and success of our students.  Our duty is to provide students with the tools to take responsibility for their own health and to adopt health-enhancing attitudes and behaviors, with the purpose of improving the mental, social and physical health of our students.

Fitness and Health Skills will be developed through:
* participation in a K-12 comprehensive health education program, which teaches students essential knowledge and skills they need to become "health literate."
* participation in a K-12 quality physical education program that involves moderate to vigorous physical activity; that is aimed at developing health-related fitness; that teaches knowledge of motor and sport skills; that promotes activities that all students enjoy and can pursue throughout their lives; and that is coordinated with the health education curriculum.
* the implementation of a district Coordinated School Health Program, which will provide instruction and services aimed at addressing the health and wellness needs of the student population.
