Physical Education
Physical education at Westview Elementary is one of our specialist classes. Students in Kindergarten - 5th grade receive 100 minutes of instruction each six days (two 50-minutes classes). We believe physical education is essential for teaching the whole child.
Our program follows the District 196 Physical Education Curriculum which promotes personal fitness improvement, physical skill development, positive social experiences and enjoyment through physical activity.
