The overall mission of the Physical Education program at Tallwood and all Virginia Beach City Public Schools is to enable students to develop positive attitudes and behaviors toward physical activity and lifetime fitness. Students at Tallwood Elementary in grades 1-5 attend physical education class everyday for a 45 minute time period. They participate in structured activities using a variety of equipment to develop an acceptable level of fitness and useful physical skills. Students are evaluated on individual behavior and skill performance in each instructional area.
All students are expected to wear athletic footwear to ensure safe participation in class.
Throughout the year, students participate in a variety of special events and activities. Fourth and fifth grade students perform National Fitness Tests at various times throughout the year. All students participate in National Women's Sports Day in February, National Sportsmanship Day in March, and a wide variety of activities as part of National Health and Physical Education Month in May. Included in these activities are the Hershey' Track and Field event for fourth and fifth graders, and Family Fun and Fitness Day, a day when family members are invited to participate in scheduled PE activities.
