Middle School PE

Middle School Physical Education Philosophy

The goal of physical education in Brevard Public Schools is to provide students with a standard based, balanced, sequential, and progressive educational activity program.  The program aimed at seventh and eighth grade students includes movement concepts and skills that are age and developmentally appropriate.  This in turn leads to the development of motor skills, knowledge, and values, which are needed to establish and maintain a healthy and physically active lifestyle. Our Middle School Curriculum focuses on developing health and skill related fitness as well as sport skills. Sports, at the middle school level, are modified to be developmentally appropriate.

F.S. 1003.455 (3)

Each district school board shall provide 150 minutes of physical education each week for students in kindergarten through grade 5 and for students in grade 6 who are enrolled in a school that contains one or more elementary grades so that on any day during which physical education instruction is conducted there are at least 30 consecutive minutes per day. Beginning with the 2009-2010 school year, the equivalent of one class period per day of physical education for one semester of each year is required for students enrolled in grades 6 through 8. Students enrolled in such instruction shall be reported through the periodic student membership surveys, and records of such enrollment shall be audited pursuant to s. 1010.305. Such instruction may be provided by any instructional personnel as defined in s. 1012.01(2), regardless of certification, who are designated by the school principal.
