10th Grade PE - Summer School

[Anonymous]

Just chiming in--PE9 is nowhere near 5 hours a day. Closer to 2.5-3. I'm hoping PE10 will be similar.

There is an option to sign up for morning or afternoon PE this summer.

The work out requirement is 1 hour or 2 thirty minute sessions each day.

Would swimming count as a work out session?

If you can track time and heart rate monitor. You have to upload those metrics into a database or something, is my recollection.

The daily virtual 1-hour meetings are held between 8 am and 2 pm, but the times won’t be assigned until after June 10 (close of registration). On June 17, the teachers will email students and parents with details on how to start the course, including the assigned time for the daily meetings.

The approximate 5-6 hours of daily asynchronous activities includes

· 60 minutes of physical exercise (documented using a device capable of tracking their heart rate that they have access to or a downloadable, free app for their smartphone),

· a reflection and analysis of their physical exercise, and

· daily assignments/assessments (topics ranging from fitness, CPR(HPE9), driver education (HPE10), human growth and development (FLE)) aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning for Health and Physical Education.

Students must have access to a computer (not tablet or smartphone) for multiple hours each weekday to complete the required assignments and are encouraged to use their FCPS issued laptops. If the student is a rising 9th grader, they can contact the high school they will be attending in the fall.

For HPE 10, the driver education curriculum will be taught by your child’s teacher and will cover all the requirements as outlined in the Standards of Learning. You and your child will be required to attend a 90 minute synchronous session (will need to have cameras on), time and date TBD, to satisfy the Partners for Safe Teen Driving requirement for obtaining the DEC-8 pink card (needed before your child can take behind the wheel driving instruction.)

Do you have ANY say in the hour of the day your kid gets assigned? My rising 10th grader swims in the summer and has morning practices. As swim team season is only the first 5 weeks of summer, and this is the first 4, we'd need to deconflict!

I called this morning -- they have no idea if you can switch an hour if you are assigned an hour with a conflict.... suggested I email [e-mail]

DD took 9th over the summer. We emailed and asked for an early time frame vs what she got. There were no garuantees but they did change it and switched her to another teacher at an earlier time.

Every person I know who asked for a different time than the one was assigned was accommodated. People work. Have sports, etc. We asked for a couple of the days to move and they did that too. They were very flexible.

This sounds miserable. Give up a whole summer so they can have an elective? Weird.

It’s not the whole summer. It is 4 weeks. And for some, it’s worth it to be able to access relevant classes and meaningful experiences during the regular school year.

And I'm pretty sure is pass/fail during the summer so it's part of the MO for students and parents who are looking to maximize GPA and AP offerings.

This is incorrect.

You can chose for it to be PF. Source: my now senior did.

Can't you choose up to two courses to be P/F anyway?

This. There are target metrics for the workouts, and you have to be able to show that you're meeting them by uploading screenshots. My kid swims but rarely used it for her workout, because practice didn't always keep her heart rate in the target zone long enough to meet the requirements. Plus she found swimming with an Apple Watch on to be uncomfortable.

will there be accommodations' for students who will be out of the country but would like to take the course to complete the in person requirement at a later date?

There is not in person. Just synchronous online.

You just take it in school.

We are doing this so DS can free up a spot for another elective. He is in a year-round club sport so I'm not concerned about him missing out on exercise during the year.

When I signed him up, I noticed it was either 8am-10am each day, or 10am-12pm. I signed him up for 8-10 since his summer swim team group will practice at 10:15 based on past years practice schedules. I seem to recall that when we were considering doing this last summer, you signed up without knowing what time class would be. Is this a change from last year? Also if we find out that swim practice is earlier, how hard would it be to change the PE class time?
