The Pinole Middle school Physical Education program aims to ensure all our students will feel safe, and welcomed during class.  Our mission is to support our students in their quest to become physically literate athletes. We will use the *California State Adopted standards to guide our teaching throughout the year.  Physical literacy:   is the ability to move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person.
