All Kindergarten, Elementary and Middle School students enrolled at FSDB participate in Physical Education classes (PE) daily. Students adhere to school rules regarding being on time, dressing properly, participating in class activities, and showing respect to staff members and fellow students. PE teachers may have additional class rules specific to their classes and activities.

Elementary Physical Education provides content and instruction designed to develop motor skills, knowledge, confidence, and personal and social behavior for a lifetime of physical activity.

Middle School Physical Education offers 4-week units of various activities such as, but not limited to, archery, basketball, bowling, fitness, football/flag football, goalball/cobraball, pickleball, football/flag football, volleyball/under the net, soundball, etc. The attention on Rules, Strategies, and Sportsmanship is the main focus of these units.

Health Education provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to be healthy throughout their lifetime, like making better choices to maintain or improve their health, preventing disease, etc. Health Education offers 4-week units on various topics such as personal health, family life, injury prevention and safety, nutrition, substance use and abuse, etc.

Students are tested three times during the school year to help teachers design activities focused on strengths and areas of opportunity for each student.

The FSDB curriculum includes swimming for all Elementary and Middle School students as a part of our “Everyone is a Swimmer” program. We recommend one-piece swimsuits for girls. Students who prefer to use goggles, swim caps, and/or earplugs may bring them. Students must be prepared to swim on assigned swim days.

A cardiovascular fitness program is also part of the curriculum. Every student participates in a “Track Lap” activity at least one day a week by walking, jogging or running our one-quarter mile track as many laps as possible within the allotted class time.
