The Duval County Public Schools' Health Education and Physical Education (HEPE) Department promotes parental involvement with not only every child's educational experience, but also their level of health both inside and outside the home.  We encourage students and parents to work together, striving for an optimal level of health, including nutrition, exercise, and overall wellness habits. 

Our physical education program stresses physical fitness and encourages healthful and active lifestyles. District policy states that every student shall have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the district’s physical education program whose mission is to develop in students the skills, knowledge, motivation, and behaviors that promote student achievement and a lifelong commitment to wellness centered around a healthy and physically active lifestyle.

 Ð¡³óߣ Physical Education Programs are based upon the following: 

• Assessment, improvement and maintenance of health-related fitness;

• Opportunities for development of competency in many movement forms;

• Opportunities for the use of technology to enhance health-related fitness and the acquisition of skills and knowledge in a variety of physical activities; and

• Participation, regularly, in health-enhancing physical activity outside the physical education class.

In accordance with state requirements, С³óߣ students are scheduled into courses based on their grade level as follows: 

• Elementary PE
• Middle School PE
• High School PE
