The Elementary Physical Education curriculum is followed district-wide serving over 29,000 elementary school students in 56 schools. Highly qualified elementary physical education specialists provide instruction based on a district approved curriculum that includes a sequence of developmentally appropriate activities for students in grades K-6.

The curriculum is aligned with National, State and District Content Standards for Physical Education. Each thirty minute lesson is composed of four parts: the introductory activity, the fitness activity, the lesson focus and the game activity. The four part lesson provides a well-rounded experience and allows for higher rates of student activity time. Mesa’s highly qualified elementary physical education (EPE) teachers excel in their ability to integrate State and District academic standards into their daily instruction.
