Mission Statement: The mission of Physical Education is to empower all students to sustain regular, lifelong physical activity as a foundation for a healthy, productive and fulfilling life.
Welcome to Porter Ridge Middle Physical Education! I am excited to have your child in our program. I would like to inform you of our requirements and procedures. This will enable your child to comply with our program’s expectations.
Physical Education classes are for one semester. All classes run on an A/B Day rotation schedule. Students are required to dress out for Physical Education class. You are encouraged to bring a water bottle!

Daily Class Expectations
1. Look for a Canvas announcement or weekly email. These will inform you of our current class activities and other needed information for that week.
2. Canvas: Some assignments could be assigned on Canvas during class, or due to student quarantine. If needed, follow the directions below:
a. Canvas assignments: Go to, Modules, in the navigation bar on the left and click on appropriate dated assignment for your class day. The assignment should take no more than thirty minutes to complete and submit. Most will be due that same day. Follow the assignment directions to make sure they are completed and submitted on time.
Canvas: Most all of our assignments will be submitted on our "learning platform," Canvas. Assignments can be submitted a variety of ways including, uploading files, typing into text boxes, and sharing Google documents. Students not having used Canvas before should alert the teacher and they will be shown how to submit assignments on Canvas. Individual assignments will indicate which method of submission on Canvas is expected. If students need a refresher or have questions, they can access the Canvas Student GuideLinks to an external site. for specific instructions. It is the student's responsibility to ensure assignments are submitted on time and to contact the instructor if there is a problem. The Canvas Learning Platform logs every student log-in on Canvas which provides teachers with a list of when students log-in to Canvas using their user I.D.
