Course Objectives & Description:
Integrated Wellness is a year-long, required freshman course integrating health related content and skills with physical activity and education. The purpose of wellness is to provide all Summit students with the health and fitness related skills to help them be successful at Summit and beyond. The health portions of class will concentrate on mental, social, and emotional health. Students will also focus on the promotion of sexual health; the prevention of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use; and violence/ suicide prevention. In PE, students will work together in an environment that focuses on positive school culture, self-esteem, and an appreciation and knowledge of physical activity through various activities. Over the semester students will be exposed to team building activities as well as individual and team sports. Students will assess their current level of fitness and learn the skills needed to set and achieve goals to improve their current level of fitness and physical activity. Because we focus on fitness, we typically run every day of class regardless of whether it is Health or PE. Be prepared and always dress down!
Health Class Expectations:
- Students must come to class prepared with pen/pencil, paper, and iPad.
- Students are expected to follow all school rules and be respectful to themselves, other students, and teachers.
- Assignments are expected to be turned in on time. Points will be deducted for late work. Extra credit will be available, but will not be used in place of assignments.
- Students will be on an “abuse it and lose it” policy for restroom and hall pass use.
- Students are required to actively participate in class discussions and activities in order to earn participation points.
Class Assignments
Students will be graded on a percentage basis composed of assignments, assessments, and participation.

Off Campus Activities & Runs:
The proximity of Summit High School provides endless opportunities to access running trails, bike paths & parks. It is the goal of the PE/Health department to access many of these paths to promote lifetime fitness & health. These opportunities provide motivation to students and provide challenges outside of what we can offer on campus. Teachers will use the following protocols to ensure success of all students and ensure safety of all.
- Attendance will be taken at the beginning, and upon return to school (end of class).
- Running loops will be clearly described before all off campus runs & activities.
- Students will be encouraged to bring a personal device (cell phone) to track fitness (Apps: Nike+Running/MapMyFitness) & to have in case of an emergency.
- Students will be required to be with a partner or small group at all times. There will be a lead group/student selected by the teacher.
*If you have concerns with your son/daughter leaving campus for these activities contact the instructor.
