The Health and Physical Education department is excited to announce its new
physical fitness reporting system. The HISD Fitness
Reporting System is available through the HISD portal. This web based tool
allows teachers to enter student physical fitness results and to create parent reports in
English and Spanish. The system will be pre-populated with student names and demographic
data so that teachers enter only the physical fitness results. The system allows for
teachers to enter information for new students who do not appear on the master schedule.
Elementary teachers should contact Jose Santiago, manager of Elementary Health/Physical Education, for
any questions and support regarding the HISD Fitness
Reporting System. Secondary teachers should contact Rose Haggerty, manager of Secondary
Health/Physical Education, for support.

by Texas schools to assess the physical fitness level of our students in grades 3-12.FITNESSGRAM, the software which is free of charge, is anticipated to be released to all Texas public schools on November 1.
