Are PE classes allowed outside in extreme heat?

No reports of children melting at PE yesterday. Relatively low humidity again today, so once again PE should be a lot safer than getting a bite to eat at the Navy Yard Chipotle.

These posters were ridiculous. It was beautiful out yesterday and PE is not that strenuous. Our HS still had track practice at normal time and is again today too, with optional after dark hours only for certain events. Most went on time. Your elementary PE class is fine.

Sure. Absolutely no one thought it was beautiful outside. Our high school PE class did not go outside and did something inside thankfully. PE in high school is 90 minutes.

Again, for the people on the back who clearly aren’t reading the thread, PE IN HIGH SCHOOL IS 90 MINUTES AND THEY ACTUALLY EXERCISE AND RUN.

We are talking about high school.

Both of these statements are false. No one in their right mind thinks 95 degree weather is “beautiful.” Unless you are living in Dubai and are used to 120 degree temps. Or maybe you live near the Equator? Also running or exercising in that heat definitely could be strenuous.

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?

I dont think that is extreme and I want my kids outside as much as possible. It will be short - like 30 minutes.

There are some ways to stay cool in the heat, like wet cooling scarves around your neck. I think these are going to become more popular as temperatures rise.

Another day where the kids will be trapped inside for PE.

Which are not available in public school during PE classes. Thanks for playing.
