SDoJ believes Health education is an integral part of the total education of every child.

Quality health education programs increase student knowledge on various age-appropriate contemporary health issues and to apply appropriate skills to take action that promotes or restores health. Health education helps youth become health literate people who are critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, self-directed learners, effective communicators, and ultimately responsible and productive citizens.

This spreadsheet is organized by grade level, unit/topic and then by the eight WI health standards. (Standards that are bolded in the unit will be specifically assessed.)

6th-8th grade students are required to take Health Education class for 8 weeks (40 minutes everyday)
9th grade students are required to take a semester of Health Education
