FITNESSGRAM is a health related physical fitness assessment. Each of the test items was selected to assess important aspects of a student's health related to fitness, not skill or agility. Students are compared not to each other, but to health and fitness standards.  Each standard is carefully established for each age and gender, which indicates good health. Once the assessment has been done, the FITNESSGRAM report provides objective, personalized feedback and positive reinforcement which are vital to each students' fitness and serve as a communications link between teachers and parents and students. These reports come home with the 1st and 3rd grading period report cards.
