Comprehensive Health and Physical Education

  • Mahwah Public Schools will be delivering instruction to meet New Jersey’s Comprehensive Health and Physical Education standard requirements. New Jersey Student Learning Standards - Comprehensive Health and Physical Education (NJSLS-CHPE) were revised in 2020 “to address the need for students to gain knowledge and skills in caring for themselves, interact effectively with others, and analyze the impact of choices and consequences.” We believe that all students should be provided time to acquire the knowledge and skill of healthy and physically active people.  

  • At the August 10, 2022 Board of Education meeting, we previewed some of the newly added performance expectations of the Comprehensive Health and Physical Education Standards that go into effect this September. We would like to give the community the opportunity to view the recording and explore the Slide Deck that was presented during this meeting. This presentation discusses the major performance expectations that were recently added, based on New Jersey Department of Education standards, along with an explanation on how these standards will be introduced in the classrooms in Mahwah Schools.
