recreational games and competitive sports taught by middle school
teachers.
All students will begin dressing out the week of August 28, 2023.

● Optional sweatshirts and/or sweatpants for cold/rainy days (any
color)
● Toilet articles (no glass/spray/aerosol bottles). Plastic ONLY.

● Jewelry that is a safety hazard will not be allowed
● PLAIN (no logos) black, gray, or red baseball caps (forward facing

Each new student to Pepper Drive will receive a complimentary PE
uniform. If PE clothes no longer fit or are lost, the replacement cost is
$10 for a complete set ($5 shirt, $5 shorts). Students can give payment
to their PE teacher to receive a new PE uniform.
No markings/drawings/ink are permitted on PE uniforms except for
student names (last, first initial) in the name bar on the shirt and shorts.
Students will need to purchase a new PE uniform if there are other
markings.
Combination Locks
School locks will be provided and students are responsible for returning
their lock at the end of the year. A $5.00 replacement fee will be
charged for any lock that is lost or not returned. Each student will be
issued a locker to keep their clothes in. Students are to take their P.E.
gear home on weekends to wash. Lockers are to remain locked at all
times and students are responsible for keeping track of their gear.
P.E. Medical Excuses
ALL STUDENTS are expected to suit out for P.E. EVERY DAY. A note is
required when a student is to be fully excused from P.E. or if a student is
to self-limit (i.e. dress out but not fully participate due to an injury).
Parents may email their child’s teacher or provide a written excuse note
if students are not able to fully participate in PE. Notes from a doctor
must be given to the school health clerk. Any parent excuse note of
MORE THAN THREE DAYS will REQUIRE a physician’s note.
Grading
The PE point system is based on earning points per class period. The
point system is based on suiting out, participation, effort, attitude, and
conduct. Physical fitness evaluations will be conducted each trimester
and these points will also be included in the final scholarship grade.
Bonus points may be earned for extra effort. Grades can be checked
online using PowerSchool.
