Elementary Update

You likely already know this since it was to be communicated through your principals, but here is the update from the D.O. about indoor spaces for PE:

The weather is changing and instruction outside will become more difficult. We decided that students need to move from their classroom to go outside for PE. Therefore, if possible, you may establish a shared indoor space for them to use. Please stress that the preferred hierarchy of space for utilization for PE is: Outside whenever possible, regular classroom cohort (health activities or physical activities with minimal space requirements), and as a last resort using the shared space. We will monitor how this change works What we are doing is working, so let’s approach modifications in small quantities. Please be mindful of the rationale and the hierarchy of spaces. 

A big shout out to Chance Condran and the CDYA SHAPE PA for organizing a webinar on virtual PE. Check out the webinar if you are interested.
