The grading will be as in other subjects a letter grade ranging from an A to an F. All students are required, in all grades, to wear sneakers in PE classes. Not having the sneakers will result in a failing grade for the student. PE classes on 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.
