Physical Education is an integral part of the total education program.

GRADING
Every day in Physical Education, students have the ability to earn two points. Students can earn one point for dressing out and one point for participation/attitude. At the end of each nine-week grading period, grades will be determined by the percentage of points earned out of the total possible. Once the percentage is calculated, a standard grading scale will be used (see table below). For example, a student who earns the daily points on 40 out of 45 days will receive a B for that grading period (80/90 = 89%)
Percentage Percentage
90-100 = A 77 – 79 = C+
80 – 86 = B 60 – 66 = D
87 - 89 = B+ 67 – 69 = D+
70 - 76 = C 59 or below = F
DRESSING OUT
Broward County Middle School students are required to dress out for Physical Education everyday. All 6th-8th graders will have time in the beginning and/or the end of P.E to change in a B.M.V. bathroom supervised by B.M.V. staff members.
P.E UNIFORMS
It is mandatory that all upper school students purchase the required P.E. uniforms. Uniforms are available for purchase through the Lions Booster Club. Order forms are available online! Go to theLions Athletic Booster Club Website and click on the P.E. Uniforms tab. In the past, students were permitted to wear athletic clothes that were purchased outside of BMV, but that is no longer the case.
Students are encouraged to wear socks with their sneakers, sunscreen, deodorant, and may wear a hat or visor outside. Students are responsible for carrying their uniforms in their backpack. If your are experiencing any financial hardships and are unable to purchase the required uniform, please notify your child’s homeroom teacher.
