Vision

To provide an innovative, engaging learning environment to all students, empowering the Aldine community to be healthy, lifelong learners.

Goals

Aldine ISD health and physical education teachers provide students with rigorous learning opportunities that have an impact on all facets of their life. Collaboratively we will:

  • Create and maintain a healthy school environment
  • Provide developmentally appropriate, sequential physical education and health lessons
  • Teach healthy habits related to nutrition, sleep, hygiene, and safety
  • Have students learn and apply self-management skills in order to effectively work with others
  • Provide differentiation to meet the needs of all learners
  • Use a Whole Child Wellness approach to have the greatest impact on student achievement

State law requires school districts to annually assess the physical fitness of students enrolled in grade three or higher and to provide the results of individual student performance on the administered physical fitness assessments to the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

The results of the physical fitness evaluations will not impede grade point average, grade placement, and graduation or campus ratings. The evaluation of health criteria will be used to encourage progress towards reaching the optimum health fitness zone.

Students are given tests that measure:

  • Cardiovascular Endurance
  • Muscular Endurance
  • Muscular Strength
  • Flexibility
  • Height and Weight

Parents are able to view their student’s assessment results upon request from the physical education teacher at their campus.

“The goal of health education is to provide instruction that allows youth to develop and sustain health-promoting behaviors throughout their lives. The understanding and application of these standards will allow students the ability to gather, interpret, and understand health information; achieve health literacy; and adapt to the ever-evolving science of health. The health education knowledge and skills should be presented to students in a positive manner to support the development of a healthy self-concept and responsible decision making.”

-Chapter 115 of the Texas Administrative Code
