CA Physical Fitness Test
In February and March our students in grades 5-6 will participate in the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT). The FITNESSGRAM is the required annual PFT for students in grades five, seven, and nine in California public schools. (6th and 8th grade students are tested each year to support improvement and transition for the next year.) This health-related fitness test, developed by The Cooper Institute, is intended to help students acquire lasting habits of regular physical activity.
The FITNESSGRAM includes tests for five areas of fitness: Aerobic Capacity, Abdominal Strength and Endurance, Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility, Upper Body Strength and Endurance, and Flexibility.
On February 7th, all fifth and sixth grade students received a 2-page informational packet on the test. Additional copies will be in the hanging folder inside the office.
