Health

The course focus is on the eight dimensions of health which include social and cultural health, physical and sexual health, spiritual health, intellectual health, emotional and mental health, occupational health, environmental health and financial health. These dimensions represent attributes of total well-being. Each symbolizes a core area of a person’s life impacting their level of health and happiness. Our goal is for students to understand the things that affect their total well-being, consider current health behaviors and attitudes, and make the necessary changes that influence their overall health in a positive way.
 
Our curriculum is skills-based, allowing students an opportunity to learn health and wellness tools and apply them to their daily lives.
 
Fifth graders participate in health class four times per cycle for approximately seven weeks. Sixth graders have health class twice per cycle in the second and third trimesters. Seventh and eighth graders have health class four times per cycle for half of the academic year.
