Are PE classes allowed outside in extreme heat?

[Anonymous]

Next Monday and Tuesday show highs of 94 and 93. I am concerned about temperature and making the kids go out in the heat to exercise. Is there County guidance for PE teachers on days with extreme heat? Or does each PE teacher get to decide? Can I write a note excusing my child from outside activities on those days?

They will be fine. Those are not extreme temperatures. Please stick to real issues like the calendar or boundary studies.

I think they are extreme temperatures and no this board is not just for calendar or boundary issues. Move on if you cast answer the questions:

OP I'm sure you can write a note for whatever you want to write a note for.

Alternatively, send your kid in with a large water bottle on those days.

You are wrong. Fairfax County Public Schools defines extreme heat by a heat index of 105 degrees to 109 degrees, which triggers activity modifications. You could have googled that before posting.

Are you from Alaska?

Those are normal temps here from May-Sept.

We don’t exercise in 93-94 degree weather though. That’s my concern.

High humidity paired with 93 degrees is particularly dangerous because sweat will not evaporate properly, quickly leading to heat exhaustion.

LOL! How long is a PE class? Your kid will be fine.

Do you have kids in high school? It’s 90 minutes.

So the answer is yes, there is County guidance and it’s based on heat index. The heat index could very well be 105-109 on that day with 93-94 temperatures.

What kind of activity modifications then?

If there’s 50% humidity or higher and the temp is 93, the heat index will be 105 or higher.

No I’m not. The heat index could very well get to 105 on a 93 degree day. It all depends on the humidity.

Temperatures in certain parts of Iran can reach up to 100 degrees in the summer months Might want to get Larlo or Larla acclimated to strenuous activity in those temperatures in case the military is in their future post FCPS. No timeouts for temperature/humidity in a war zone.
