K-12 Curriculum

Oregon State Standards: The Oregon State Standards define what students should know and be able to do within a content area at specific stages in their education. In addition to setting and supporting the educational standards, the goal of the standards and instructional support team is to ensure that every learner’s strengths are recognized and their skills are developed through the opportunity to receive high-quality instruction, programming and services.

      • In order to graduate from Elmira High School, students need to earn 1 credit of Physical Education.  The PE department has several different courses available for students of all ability levels to choose from.  First, there is a ½ credit required class called PE1 that resembles a more traditional Physical Education class that all students must take to graduate.  This class develops basic skills, techniques, knowledge, and strategies to a variety of team-based sports and games, with an emphasis on sportsmanship and teamwork.  Games like basketball, Pickleball, volleyball, and Ultimate Frisbee are examples of games they might play.

        Other PE classes kids can take to earn their remaining ½ credit include weight training, sports conditioning, leisure sports, or they can take PE1 a second time.  After they earn their 1 credit of PE, all additional PE courses taken will count toward their elective credits needed to graduate.

mission and vision

K-5 Health: The Great Body Shop

THE GREAT BODY SHOP is a comprehensive health education curriculum that is sequential, developmentally appropriate, culturally sensitive and medically accurate.

THE GREAT BODY SHOP is aligned to state and national standards for health education, as well as the Healthy People 2020 initiative. It is aligned to the National Education Standards, the National Sexuality Education Standards, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Characteristics of Effective Health Education Curricular and the core concepts recommended by the CDC’s HECAT.

It is designed primarily for children and their families. Each month, Student Issues are sent to schools.  The Student Issue looks like a health magazine and is used like a periodical or informational text.  At the end of the unit, students take the Student Issue home and can use them for family activities and discussions.
