A note from the Health/Physical Educa on Department For the week of October 22 through October 30, The Health/Physical Educa on Department has been instruc ng students in "Fitness Week" ac vi es. Students have learned how to find their heart rate (caro d and radial) prior to ac vity, and at various points during ac vity in their PE classes. Instruc on has included the importance of raising their heart rate, and how the ac vi es they perform in class can influence/affect their heart rate. § Is the ac vity beneficial? § Will this ac vity improve my cardiovascular level? § Are my ac vity levels helping me improve in prepara on for the mile run test?

Students will be pre‐tested in the mile during this me frame. CT Physical Fitness test repor ng meline has changed for 2018‐19. Our staff can test the students any me this school year. We plan to administer the final fitness test to our students in May 2019, and report results to the state of Connec cut. This allows us to be er prepare our student popula on for the test compo‐ nents: Mile run/walk; push up test; par al curl up test and flexibility test. Our goal is to be er prepare our students for this test, by promo ng ac vity!
