2020-2021 SCHOOL YEARAs we start this school year virtually, we will provide all incoming students with Google Classroom codes. This will have the lessons, videos, and assessments necessary for each student to succeed in virtual P.E.
Please note, it will be slightly different than if your child was in SAES last year because this year EACH INDIVIDUAL P.E. TEACHER will have their very own Google Classroom. This will make it easier for direct communication and delivery of class materials, as well as, the ability to get to know students as we start this year.
WELCOME BACK...
We would also like to welcome (back) Mr. Baine to the Elementary School Health and Physical Education staff! He has been teaching in the Shaler Area School District since 1994! Starting this year, he has rejoined our Elementary School H.P.E. Dept. after teaching at the Middle School from 2008-2020. We are excited for him to be with us again and share his wealth of knowledge and experience.

in their health and wellness...
Positive Attitude, Respect for All, Integrity, Do the Right Thing, Effort Towards Learning
*In effort to encourage Titan PRIDE, the Health and Physical Education Department
includes a reward incentive EVERY week.*
No matter the unit, students who show PRIDE are offered a choice 'reward day.' These days are tailored to allow the students to be physically active, while having fun doing what they want to do!
The options change throughout the year depending on their HPE unit. For example, in swimming students can play water polo, float around on noodles, jump/dive off the side, or be creative and make up their own game. During health, they go to the gym or wrestling room. When it's nice outside we open the shed and allow the students to use the equipment and all the available facilities (basketball court, grass field, playground, and track).
These days are fun and provide students a choice while encouraging health and wellness, as well as, interpersonal life skills.
