For those still looking for answers..

Last year's Summer PE 9, they did not hand out fitbits. They asked my kid to use one of his own (he did not have one) or use an app that he could download on his phone to measure heart-rate every few minutes. He did the treadmill once a day, measured heart rate, took screen shots and posted them daily.

I believe you need a fitbit or something equivalent. It is not a piece of cake as some may think.

Since there is no onsite dissemination this year, I wonder how they will do this. They cannot require people to go buy fitbits.

It was online in the past not onsite.

The first day and last day (orientation and checkout) was onsite in past years. The rest has been online.
Those two onsite days are not happening this year.

At least the last two years. I'd advise you to call and ask.It was definitely work each day.

Well, in past years I'm told they used a combo of fitness trackers issued on the first day (which was onsite) and fitness logs. But, since they are not doing the onsite portion, I assume it will be honor system? I'm not worried about that as my kid is active and will have conditioning days for a fall sport starting around the time of this class.

They get fit it’s for the summer and have to upload the data each day. So kids try to hack the fit it’s. But honestly, that seems like more work than just, rowing, jogging, playing a sport.

The only issue with playing a sport is you need to make sure your kids heart rate says up long enough.

^^ I would add, it’s a great class for kids who are self motivated and can stay on a schedule without a lot of nagging. She just dis it, amd I checked in a few times a week.

If my older child, am ADHD boy has done summer HPE, it would have been daily monitoring amd lots of arguing.

Dd did 9 and 10 summer P/F. Colleges don’t really care about PE grade. And she has above a 4.0 W, so PE just bring it down. Plus, there are A LOT of small assignments. P/f takes the pressure off some if a few things slip through the cracks.

How do they know if the kids are actually doing the workouts?

About 8-4, including 2 x45 minutes runs (she broken it up, and there was warm up// cool down. And 1-1.5 hours synchronous. 3-4 hours in addition is probably right for general health.

HPE9 is more straightforward than HPE10. Fulfilling all the HPE10 drivers Ed/ VDATs pieces was the real time suck. She had to keep redoing worksheets until they were perfect. So, that piece of HPE10 was 5 hours.

My kid’s schedule

8:00-8:45 Exercise. She ran on our treadmill, but treated her ankle and chafed to a stationary bike

9-10 or 10:30 synchronous piece

11-3 asynchronous hours work, with a lunch break

Then an afternoon exercise session.

She was busy, but nothing crazy.

Never worked after dinner or weekends

NOT including class and the required physical activity (neither of those would be any issue for my child), how long does it take to do all the busy work associated with this?

I've heard ranges from 3'ish to the 6 stated in the intro email (and I've even talked to a PE teacher who teaches it over the summer and he said it "varies"). Just trying to get a sense for this. My DC is doing it (and wanted to do it). Just trying to figure out what to expect from kids who have done it.

Also, my understanding it's a lot of worksheet type activities. The onsite orientation/offboarding is not happening this year so that will already be different.
