Indoor Recess - GoNoodle
In the event that the school must conduct indoor recess, teachers and staff will follow the indoor recess guidelines that promote physical activity for students, to the extent practicable. Teachers will receive training through professional development on how to implement the “Go Noodle” program. Go Noodle is composed of hundreds of interactive videos making movement and mindfulness an integral part of the day.
Recess will complement, not substitute, physical education class. Recess monitors or teachers will encourage students to be active, and will serve as role models by being physically active alongside the students whenever feasible.
Classroom Physical Activity (Brain Break
Students of all ages are more attentive and ready to learn if provided with periodic breaks when they can be physically active or stretch. Thus, students will be offered periodic opportunities to be active or to stretch throughout the day. The DWC recommends teachers provide short (3-5 minute) physical activity breaks to students during and between classroom time at least three days per week. These physical activity breaks will complement, not substitute, for physical education class, recess, and class transition periods.
Notes from the Nurse
Any student turning 11 years old this year will be required to receive additional vaccines unless they are exempt. Parents should call and make an appointment with their child's doctor or the health department on or after their child's birthday and let the school nurse know once it has been made.
