The new state required fitness test called Fitness Gram measures five components of physical fitness which have been identified as being important because of their relationship to overall health and fitness. The five components are:

1. Aerobic Capacity
2. Body Composition
3. Muscular Strength
4. Muscular Endurance
5. Muscular Flexibility

All students will be instructed in the appropriate technique for each of the required test items. Also with the new SB78 law all students will now be required by law to pass  five areas before graduating from high school.

Students may be excused from physical education for up to three days with a signed/dated note from a parent/guardian. If the note does not read two or three days, we will assume that it is a one day excuse. To be excused from physical education for a longer period of time, students must bring a note from a doctor. If their physical condition allows it, they will be required to dress out for physical education and report to roll call. They may lose points during the medical excuse, but can make up these points at one of the 4 make ups.  Make-ups are at the end of each Grading period so that students can make-up any missed run they may have missed due to an absence or medical excuse. Also students who have acquired 2 or more Loaners will need to go to P.E. Make-ups.

P.E. UNIFORMS

ALL STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO DRESS IN P.E. CLOTHES DAILY

A uniform is required in Physical Education and it consists of a Mesa Verde Shirt and Shorts, socks, and athletic shoes(laced tightly).  This uniform with the exception of shoes and socks, must be purchased from the Mesa Verde P.E. Department. Due to numerous dress code violations and thefts only Mesa Verde Shorts are allowed! The short length this year will be strictly enforced at "no shorter than arms length".  Sweats may be purchased elsewhere, as long as they do not have zippers, pockets, or snaps. Also hats and sunglasses are not allowed in Physical Education classes for safety reasons.
Students will also need to purchase a combination lock from the Mesa Verde P.E. Department. It is important that students do not purchase locks elsewhere. If there is an emergency, teachers need to be able to access all lockers with their master key.

Price List

• P.E. Shirts    $12.00
• P.E. Shorts   $15.00
• P.E.  Locks   $5.00
• Although the amount of all three items listed above totals  to $32.00, a package deal is available for $30.00.
• Sweatshirt     $20
• Sweatpants   $15
• Please send cash or checks made out to Mesa Verde Middle School (MVMS).

Physical education classes and after school sports activities can be very rigorous and accidents occasionally occur. Because of this, parents are strongly encouraged to purchase personal injury insurance for your son/daughter. The Poway Unified School District is not liable for any accidents that may occur during a school related activity.
Insurance Information is included in the first day packet or can be picked up in the counseling office.
