Academics

Washington provides opportunities for students to succeed in many different ways by offering not only traditional classes like Science, Math, Language Arts, Social Sciences, and Physical Education, it provides elective opportunities in the area of Applied Arts & Sciences, World Languages, and Performance Music. There are also classrooms that support students who struggle along with students who excel.

Physical Education/Health

Physical education will provide every student with a variety of challenges that will contribute to the development and maintenance of their physical, cognitive, and affective well-being.

Students will be provided with the foundation for making informed decisions that will empower them to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Physical Education is a lifelong process, which is the primary responsibility of the student, shared by home, district and community.

Each year students will be removed from Physical Education class for six weeks of Health Class. The following units of study will be taught:

6th Grade	7th Grade	8th Grade
First Aid and Personal Safety	Substance Awareness (TAD)	Body Systems
Health Triage	Healthy Relationships	Leading Causes of Death
	Abstinence/Contraception and Sexuality Education	Suicide Prevention Program

PE Uniforms

The PE uniform that our staff and students have chosen consists of a T-shirt and gym shorts. The T-shirt is black and gray. The words "Washington Physical Education" are printed across the front along with a space provided for printing the student's name with a permanent marker. This shirt is required to be worn for physical education class daily.

Our physical education policy states that the student may wear any solid colored shorts to class. Shorts should be long enough to meet the expectations of the district dress code. This does not include jams or any multi-colored shorts that have designs on them. It is required that the shorts have the student's name on them somewhere in case they are lost or misplaced.

The students are also required to have white socks, gym shoes and outside clothing for classes in the fall and early spring. These items should also be marked with the student's name.
