What is FIT Georgia?

Our 4th and 5th graders will be participating in FIT Georgia, a state assessment that checks your child’s health and physical fitness!

Students will try their best in 5 quick areas:

🫀 Aerobic Capacity (Heart Health)
💪 Muscular Strength (Strong Muscles)
🏋️ Muscular Endurance (Staying Active)
🧘 Flexibility (Stretching)
📈 Healthy Body Range** (Overall Wellness)

This assessment helps us support your child's healthy habits now and for the future!

🌟 How You Can Help Your Child Succeed 🌟

👟 Dress for Action: Make sure your child wears sneakers and comfortable clothes on test days.
😴 Rest Up: Encourage a good night’s sleep before testing.
🍎 Fuel Up: Serve a healthy breakfast and hydrate!
👏 Cheer Them On: Remind them that doing their best is what matters most!

Wearing the right shoes is a big part of keeping kids safe and successful in P.E.! Proper athletic shoes give students the support they need to run, jump, and play without slipping or getting hurt. Shoes that stay securely on the feet — like sneakers with laces or Velcro — help prevent trips and falls. Sandals, boots, Crocs, or flip-flops can make it hard to participate fully and safely.

Please help your child be ready for P.E. by sending them in comfortable, well-fitting athletic shoes on P.E. days. The right footwear helps your child do their best and stay injury-free!

This month, we are focusing on the character trait of responsibility—and that includes how we care for and use our school devices!

Students can show responsibility by:

• carrying their devices carefully with two hands

• keeping food and drinks away from them

• charging them at home

• bringing them to school everyday

• using them only for learning.

By being careful and following expectations, students help keep devices working well for everyone.
