Peak Prep Clubs!
February 8, 2023
Dear Families,
Peak Prep is excited to announce that we have several clubs that our students are encouraged to join! Clubs are being run by our faculty and are free of charge! Our goal is to offer clubs that support your child's interests and to offer them a chance to develop friendships with peers in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Please take a moment to look at the flyers below. Each club is open to students in specific grade spans, and although it would be more beneficial, members of the club will NOT need to attend every session.
We are committed to your student's academic success and devoted to ensuring that each student has the support they need to succeed. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me! I am here to support you.
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Sabrina Ciolino

Physical Fitness Testing (Grades 5, 7, and 9)
Each year, students in grades five, seven, and nine participate in the California Physical Fitness Test, also called the PFT. California has chosen the FITNESSGRAM® as the annual physical fitness test for students in California public schools. The PFT results provide one measure that students and their families can use, along with other information, to monitor overall fitness. Schools may also use these results for the purpose of evaluating their physical education program.
This year, your child will take the Physical Fitness Test (FITNESSGRAM®).
The FITNESSGRAM® includes six test areas:
· Aerobic Capacity
· Body Composition
· Abdominal Strength and Endurance
· Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility
· Upper Body Strength and Endurance
· Flexibility
Most of the fitness areas of the FITNESSGRAM® have two or three test options so all students, including those with special needs, have the chance to participate. For each fitness area of the FITNESSGRAM®, students are scored as meeting the “Healthy Fitness Zone” or “Needs Improvement.”
To learn more about the PFT, go to the California Department of Education Parent Guides to Understanding Web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/parentguidetounderstand.asp.
Our students will start testing this month (February). Please be on the lookout for an email from your child's homeroom teacher regarding the testing time, day, and location!
How can I get my student ready for PFT?
Talk about the PFT with your child. Make sure your child is not anxious and is ready to do their very best.
- Tell your child that you and their teacher are both there to help, every step of the way, and want them to do their best to finish what they can.
- Help make sure your child engages in 60 minutes of activity every day.
- Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and nutritious breakfast before testing.
