Department, to be worn throughout the school year during their scheduled P.E. class time. The uniform costs $20 and consists of navy shorts and a dry-fit gray shirt.

Each Middle School student is required to dress out daily. Non-participation in dressing out will result in a “0” participation daily grade which will affect the student’s overall P.E./Health grade.
