Re: Fitnessgram

I really wish there was more activity on this post. My district is in the process of piloting different programs/methods of tracking students fitness scores k-12. We use Infinite Campus for grading/attendance etc.
The goal is to be able to see students fitness information from year to year on Infinite Campus but have not found a way to do that. We tried creating a google document that was shared with all department members but it is not user friendly.
Wondering if Fitnessgram merges with any program like Infinite Campus, etc?
Would love to know what other districts are doing.

Re: Fitnessgram

My district uses Fitnessgram. I found it strange that the Fitnessgram company became "obsolete" after only a few years of existence, forcing school districts to purchase the updated Fitnessgram. My SLO post test actually relies on each student receiving their Fitnessgram report in order to complete a Fitness Self Reflection, so my district bought the new, updated Fitnessgram software. I am a PE teacher that has used both the old and newer version of Fitnessgram and I can tell you that it is not exactly user friendly, but it does track a student's fitness levels over the years and it does create an individual Fitnessgram report, letting each student know if he/she falls into the HFZ (healthy fitness zone) or NI (needs improvement). If your school can afford Fitnessgram, it is the only software program I know of that does this.
