Physical Education Department
Philosophy: The Physical Education Program is an integral part of the total education program here at Duanesburg Central School District. Through physical activity, students will be provided the foundation for making informed decisions that empower them to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. A diverse offering of activities will provide students a variety of challenges that will contribute to the development of their physical, cognitive, and affective well-being; as well as leadership and positive social behavior characteristics. All students will participate in physical education all six years at the junior / senior high school, progressing through a sequential curriculum to ensure that they will become independent learners and competent decision makers. Physical Education is a life-long process which is the primary responsibility of the student; shared by the home, district, and community. Department Expectations:

Make-Up Options for Missed Classes
Students that are legally absent from class have the opportunity to make up the class / work that they missed. Students may join another P.E. class to make up missed points (during a study hall / free period, etc.), or other opportunities are possible if arranged with your individual teacher. Students must be prepared to participate in appropriate clothing and sneakers.

Locker Room Procedures
Students need to lock up their belongings in their hallway lockers or P.E. lockers during class. The PE staff encourages students to take responsibility and ensure safety of their possessions. There are sometimes theft issues in the locker room despite the Physical Education staffs’ best efforts to monitor and supervise those areas. Again, please protect yourself and your belongings. (Inexpensive locks are available for purchase at local stores and may be brought in for student use in the locker rooms). The school and teachers are not responsible for items left unlocked in the locker room areas or brought to class and left unattended. The doors to the locker room will be locked following the “late bell”. Students will be discouraged from letting fellow students in after that time.
