Overview

• The State of California requires that, starting
  this year, all students in the 9th Grade MUST
  pass a series of physical tests in order to
  progress in P.E.
• If a student does not achieve success in these
  tests the first year, the student will have
  another year of P.E. added to his/her high school
  program, giving him/her a third year of P.E.
  (initially 2 required)
• If a student does not achieve success for two
  years in a row, the student will be enrolled in
  P.E. all four years of their high school career.
