Top 10: Things to Know About Middle School PE!!!
PE in Middle School is a big change for the 6th graders, as they will now meet every day AND they will earn a grade in this class. That, in itself, is a big aspect that the kids take time adjusting to, but once we get the ball rolling, the students really enjoy stepping away from other academics and their chairs and physically get moving while learning about health and fitness.

1) Pe Classes Meet Everyday! We are a graded class, which means we have standards-based assignments, tests, and other assessments. We also have make- up work for days missed!

2) Students Will Be Expected to Dress out in Their Pe Uniforms for Every Class. (dressing out is part of their grades and helps with basic hygiene) PE uniforms are gray shirts and blue or black shorts.
