All students are expected to dress out daily in PE. It is a part of their grade. Students who do not want to wear a Ralston PE uniform may wear their own completely solid black shorts/sweats and t-shirt. No leggings are allowed. PE clothes should be taken home at the end of each week to wash them. Students will also need a pair of athletic shoes for PE that they wear or leave in their locker.

Locks for PE lockers are provided to all students to borrow for the year at no charge and are distributed by PE teachers during class at the beginning of the year. PE teachers will review/teach students how to use combination locks and have students practice opening their lock. (PE teachers will also record the serial number and combination for each student's lock in case a student misplaces their lock or forgets their combination).

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our goal is to positively educate students into developing their whole being: mentally, physically, and socially. Students are taught to respect one another, work as a team, and always give whole-hearted effort. Learning is ideal when students are given clear expectations and provided with the opportunity of discovery and new experiences.

Objectives - we are extremely proud of the Ralston P.E program and our students that are a part of it. The curriculum and instructional methods are based in part on striving for the following objectives:

1. To increase knowledge and skill in sports, games, and leisure activities that can be carried on for a lifetime.

2. To understand the principles of movement and be able to apply that understanding to new movements.

3. To develop physical fitness: strength and endurance.

4. To develop social skills that encourage teamwork, sportsmanship, and positive interpersonal relationships.

5. To develop general body management skills such as balance, coordination, agility, and flexibility.

6. To strive to meet the California State Standards for fitness in the following areas: Cardiovascular, upper body - strength, and flexibility.

GOLD TRUNKS PROGRAM

The Gold Trunks Program is designed to reward and encourage students to develop strength and endurance. Students are tested on two separate dates. Upon passing four different fitness criteria, students are issues a pair of gold mesh trunks. These trunks are a symbol of hard work and dedication. Students who meet the standards all three years are given reversible black and gold mesh trunks and will be recognized at the end of the year. Ralston students take a lot of pride in earning the gold trunks.
