PHYSICAL EDUCATION POLICIES
The students of Powder Mill Middle School will receive physical education that allows them to experience a variety of sports and activities so that they will have the understanding and the knowledge to be able to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Students have Physical Education class twice a week for the entire school year. Please encourage your child to fill in their agenda to hlep them remember their P.E. clothes and sneakers. Please work to keep your child physically active outside of school by involving them in activities that they enjoy. We also encourage families to exercise together regularly.

Students must change out of clothing worn to school and into appropriate t-shirt, shorts, sweatshirts/pants, warm-up suits, socks, sneakers, etc. Apparel with zippers, pockets, belts, loops or buttons are prohibited for health and/or safety reasons. Students may want to bring extra clothing for cooler days when P.E. classes take place outside. Coming to class unprepared will affect a student's grade. Jewelry is not allowed.
