Markham Woods Middle School's physical education program aims to promote physical fitness, individual skills, and a healthy lifestyle. The goals are for students to improve fitness levels, develop skills in various activities, understand teamwork, and have a positive attitude towards physical activity. Regular participation in PE class and dressing out is required and accounts for 35% of a student's grade. Fitness testing is used to track individual improvement, which makes up another 35% of the grade. Injuries require notes within 3 days or from a doctor for longer injuries. Parents can track grades through the Parent Information Network.
