I have a rising freshman. What are all the classes he can take over the summer (for each summer). We are looking at gym for this summer. Thank you!

PE and EPF are the most common ones to take over the summer

My understanding for summer PE through FCPS, the student has to hit certain heart rate with Fitbit during week but doesn’t meet in person every day- just a couple times? Are those dates known at time sign up for summer PE? Trying to figure out how to know to be in town if need to be in person? When do signups for summer classes begin?

Online HPE9 and HPE10 through FCPS definitely meets synchronously every day for 5 weeks during the summer. Attendance is mandatory and you can only miss 2 classes before you are automatically unenrolled. They don't tell you the time of your synchronous class until the Friday before the class starts and you can't choose your time. HPE10 has one mandatory parent meeting for the driver safety requirement. They don't tell you the date until after the class starts.

But it is true that they need to track 60 minutes of physical activity every day using a Fitbit and hit a certain heart rate or else their activity won't count.

Search the forum for past discussions - this has been discussed several times in the past few weeks. Many families are opting to do HPE through Virtual Virginia instead.

Is it still 5 weeks if they take HPE9 as part of IFTA? Or would that just mean that for 3 weeks, they are taking the course synchronously and still taking asynchronously for the other 2 weeks?

The above is through FCPS ACE, not IFTA.

Look at Virtual Virginia for 9th grade PE and Health. Manageable. Asynchronous

[Anonymous]

You should check but I believe one of their ifta classes would be the synchronous portion but it doesn’t change the length of the class. Just allows them to do both. You register for both IfTA and Summer pe at ACE.

For PE9 there is also a CPR demonstration towards the end of the class, in person.
