Physical Education

Santa Clara Elementary School (SCES) believes in educating the "whole child"; therefore, our students participate weekly in grade level Physical Education (P.E.) classes. These classes are coordinated and taught by our school's credentialed P.E. Teacher.
Each grade participates in approximately one hour of Physical Education per week as a class at SCES. P.E. classes are designed to encourage a love of physical activity in our students, and to enhance their athletic skill at specific developmental levels. Along with participating in an organized curriculum during P.E. classes, students may also enjoy a variety of age-appropriate games and seasonal sports, as well as occasional “free choice” activities and games. Our SCES Physical Education Teacher/Athletic Director holds a teaching credential and a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education.

SCES is a member of the All-Catholic Schools League (ACSL), and fields over twenty extra-curricular school teams each year, primarily for students in Grades 5-8, through our SCES Sports Program. The P.E. Teacher also serves as the SCES Athletic Director. In that role, he is in charge of organizing the school's volunteer team coaches, coordinating off-site locations for games, signing-up SCES teams for tournaments, and distributing SCES team uniforms to students who have paid the required Sports Team Fee, among other duties. The P.E. Teacher/Athletic Director is on campus at SCES Monday-Friday.
Physical Education classes and after-school team sports at SCES are designed to afford our students ample opportunities to develop athletic potential as well as practice good sportsmanship.
