PE Information 

6th grade students will all have a PE class with a credentialed PE teacher at Parkway Academy. However, they will not dress out for PE during the 6th grade year. They will start dressing out and using the locker rooms in 7th grade. We know this is a big relief for students and families. PE in middle school is AWESOME!!!
