Annual fitness assessments to begin

CISD and all other school districts across Texas will begin mandatory physical fitness assessments known as FITNESSGRAM for students in grades 3-12. The assessment is required annuallly.

Here is CISD's plan for compliance:

All students enrolled in physical education or athletics will be given the assessment during those class periods.
Campus staff will work with students who are not enrolled in physical education or athletics to schedule a time for the assessment.

The following areas will be assessed, per Texas Education Agency guidelines: aerobic capacity, body composition, muscular strength, endurance and flexibility.
