Our instructional aides and student assistants are well trained to help any student with their exercises.

ADAP 875 ADAPTED EVALUATION
This is where we find out how you are actually doing in the adapted PE program. In this class, we test your progress through monitoring your blood pressure and resting heart rate, testing how your heart responds to exercise, testing your flexibility, your flexibility, your strength, how well you’re walking, even your body composition and posture! We use this information to help you in meeting your fitness goals.
PE 120 CPR/FIRST AID
This class will teach the students adult, child, and infant CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and standard first aid. Often times people “freeze” in an emergency situation and they will not know what to do. In this class we practice emergency scenarios and help to provide the students with the confidence and the skills necessary to provide care to a victim as a “first responder.” This class is taught in compliance with the American Red Cross.
