For physical education classes all students are required to bring a change of clothes. Students must provide t-shirt, sweat shirt, towel, shorts, swim suit, sneakers and a lock. All items should be labeled. A change into physical education clothes is a requirement.
Program
The objectives of middle school physical education build on the skills and techniques learned at the elementary level. Students at the middle school will experience a variety of team and individual sports, fitness and wellness principles, and challenge activities.
Students are encouraged to participate in the extramural sports (grades 6-8) and modified sports (7/8 grades). All of these programs are extensions of the basic physical education program.
