CPSD Physical Education & Health
Being physically literate is a fundamental and valuable means to maximizing a person’s potential to succeed in all aspects of life. Physical literacy is one of the most controllable factors of a person’s overall well-being. It is a critical skill that empowers students to become successful and productive members of society. The physically literate student will demonstrate mastery of the following:
- Competence and confidence in motor skill and movement patterns
- Application of health-related fitness concepts, principles, strategies and tactics
- Maintenance of physical fitness or progress towards physical fitness through participation
- Responsible personal and social skills in individual and teamwork tasks
- The value and desire to engage in physical activity as a lifestyle
CPSD6 Health Education Vision
Our vision is to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make informed, healthy decisions throughout their lives. By graduation, D6 students will understand the importance of physical, mental, emotional, and social wellness and how these dimensions are interconnected. They will develop the ability to build healthy relationships, set personal goals, and navigate challenges with resilience and empathy. Equipped with essential life skills, students will know how to maintain safety, advocate for themselves and others, and access reliable health resources.
To achieve this vision, structures within all schools, kindergarten through 12th grade, will be inclusive to support adequate Physical Education and Health skill development for all students in accordance with state law. Appropriate accommodations, modifications, adaptations, and support for all learners are also required in order to create a fully inclusive classroom environment.

Quality Health education is characterized by standards-based instruction that provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to lead healthy lives. Health-literate individuals are able to obtain and apply knowledge and skills to enhance their own health and the health of others - both now and in the future as their needs changes throughout their lives.
CPSD6 students will follow Oregon’s 2023 Health Education Standards. These are organized into 8 topic areas that allow students to gain knowledge and skills in core health topics. These topics are divided into subtopics that are vertically aligned throughout the K-12 grade level standards to ensure a progression of learning. This helps build and advance student understanding from the fundamentals to more in-depth knowledge and skill proficiency to be used throughout their lifetime.
Topics
● Wellness and Health Promotion (WHP)
● Safety and First Aid (SFA)
● Substance Use, Misuse, and Abuse (SUB)
● Food, Nutrition, and Physical Activity (FNP)
● Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEM)
● Healthy Relationships and Violence/Abuse Prevention (HRVP)
● Growth and Development (GD)
● Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH)
CPSD6 has adopted The Great Body Shop as the instructional materials for health in grades K-5. If you would like to review any of the components of the program or have concerns, please contact your student's school principal.
Grades 6-12 are piloting with Goodheart-Wilcox Publishers (G-W). They are ontrack to adopt health materials by the end of the 2025-26 school year.
