CURRICULUM and GOALS

Physical Education is an important school subject that teaches students about health, personal fitness, teamwork, athletics, and the importance of maintaining a life-long healthy lifestyle.  Students will learn skills, acquire knowledge, and develop self-esteem and good sportsmanship through participation in a wide range of activities.  Students will learn exercise physiology, body mechanics, and develop a better understanding of their physical abilities. Students will learn the importance of setting goals and attaining them. A balanced physical education program will produce young men and women who have developed maximum motor development, who move with ease and confidence, and who will maintain a high level of personal physical fitness in the future. Our curriculum will provide a wide range of activities throughout the year that will enable your child to achieve success at their own level. Our lessons are designed to meet the needs and abilities of all students.We ask your help and cooperation in achieving these goals.  We look forward to a successful year.

SCHOOL TEAMS

Presidio Middle School participates in the San Francisco Unified School District

AAA League.  We participate in all 7 sports offered by the district. It is an honor to be on a school team and represent your middle school. Students must be dedicated, talented, and committed. Every student is responsible for making up all assignments and homework. Presidio is very proud of its successful athletic program. We have made the playoffs and won many city championships. Students are honored at an awards’ assembly held in the fall and in the spring. Each season lasts about three months, and there is practice everyday.

Each sport requires a three-month commitment, and students must have a 2.0 Grade Point Average and satisfactory citizenship to be on a school team. Students must also have a current Physical Exam Form on file with the coach.
