Health and Physical Education Curriculum
On June 3, 2020, the New Jersey State Board of Education adopted the 2020 New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Comprehensive Health and Physical Education (NJSLS-CHPE). Due to the COVID-19 Public Emergency, these standards were delayed for full implementation until the upcoming 2022-2023 school year for all students in grades K-12. The NJSLS-CHPE were designed to address the needs of each student in gaining knowledge and skills in caring for themselves, interacting effectively, respectfully and safely with others, and analyzing the impact of health choices.
Our administrative team, educators, and Board of Education have worked diligently over the last two years to produce a curriculum (K-12) and corresponding set of resources that we believe strikes this balance. We request that each family take the time to review, at each applicable grade level, the health units themes, corresponding topics, and curriculum documents.
