Physical Fitness Assessment

In compliance with Senate Bill 530, all grades 3-12 students in Texas must take the FITNESSGRAM fitness assessment. This is the first year that all Texas school districts must meet this requirement.
The assessment is not based on athletic ability, but on good health. The assessment will include measurements of aerobic capacity, strength, endurance, flexibility and body composition. 
 
This is not a “pass or fail” test. FITNESSGRAM is a tool to help determine needs and serve as a guide for planning a personalized physical activity program. The test will not affect grades in any way. 
 
The information gathered will be sent to the Texas Education Agency, which will release a report with District and campus results. No individual scores will be made public, but scores will be available to parents who file a written request.
Canutillo Independent School District believes that providing health-related fitness information will lead toward a healthier lifestyle. A healthy student is better prepared to learn and perform, in all aspects of life.
