The grading will be as in other subjects a letter grade ranging from an A to an F. Your child will be participating in various contact sport activities. So as a safety and health factor, these clothes are suggested to wear in their physical education classes:  any tee shirt with short sleeves, short gym pants without pockets or sweat pants, any color of socks and gym shoes. Parents can purchase Sutherland wear from the PTA or the School ‘R’ Us store. This is optional.
        Items not recommended to wear to physical education classes:  sleeveless tee shirts, underwear vests, skirts, dresses, short or long jean pants, short or long cargo pants, sandals, flip-flops, crocodiles, boots, dress shoes, watches, bulky jewelry, cell phones, and iPods. Not having the proper items will result in a failing grade for your child. PE classes for the most part only meet once a week.

Throughout the year students in grades sixth to eighth will be assigned homework either individually or in groups for the IB program. Our first project is to conduct a French Soccer Tournament in the middle of October.

Special programs and projects also will be implemented throughout the year in the PAWS program. Last school year we had carnivals and field days. We hope to do more of the same for this school year.
