Physical Education
The purpose of our Physical Education (PE) Program is to help our students understand and apply the principles of physical fitness and activity to achieve an overall healthy lifestyle. We prepare our students physically, mentally, and socially so they are able to apply, perform, and accomplish these skills to use now and through their life.
Students will have the ability to select any of the four physical education courses during their four ears at York Tech.

*Due to the current state mandates our courses have been modified to the below description. It is our hope to return the the 2019 course options in the future.
Students are expected to perform two workouts per week (Monday through Sunday)
1 workout counts towards the “Virtual” assignment and 1 workout counts toward the “In Person” assignment.
The workouts consist of a variety of 10-30 minute video workouts and a variety of body weight CrossFit activities; which is provided in the Phys Ed folder via Schoology.
Students have also been approved to complete 30 minutes of yard work, snow activities, etc. to count for a workout submission.
Once the student completes the workout they are required to write a 3 sentence reflection, log the amount of time the workout took to complete and log which workout they chose to complete.
