Beginning this spring, NISD will implement Senate Bill 530 which mandates physical fitness testing for all students in grades 3 - 12.  The FITNESSGRAM program, developed by Dr. Kenneth Cooper, has been chosen as the assessment tool in the state of Texas.  The assessment measures three components of health-related physical fitness that have been identified as important to overall health and function:

• aerobic capacity;
• body composition; and
• muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility.

Parents can expect to hear more about the assessment as the year progresses.
