PE and Supplemental Hours

PE

VAVA students are required to log a minimum of 30 minutes of activity for PE each school day. The maximum number of PE hours you are permitted to log is 8 hours per week. Students are required to maintain an updated fitness log throughout the year (copies are provided by the teacher).The required fitness plans that provide the exercises for students to complete are located within the OLS lessons.

Supplemental PE activities include, but are not limited to:

•  Swimming lessons

•  Athletic training

•  Baseball practice

•  Playing in a soccer game

•  Power walking 

•  Riding your bike 

Supplemental Hours

A supplemental activity is any activity that is educational in nature, but does not relate directly to the curriculum. Students are allowed to log a maximum of 8 supplemental hours per week. Please log your permitted hours each week (you never know when you may forget an activity or if you have more than the allowed 8 hours during another week). Logging these hours each week will help you reach the minimum attendance requirement of 990 hours. 

Supplemental activities include but are not limited to:

• Creative writing

•  Arts and crafts

• Nature walks, Journaling and discussing what was seen (lookng up bugs, plants, trees, etc. on the internet)

•  Educational TV (i.e., The History Channel, Discovery Channel, etc.)

•  Educational games

•  Educational family outings

•  Leisure reading

•  Volunteer work

•  Participation in clubs

•  Religious education

•  Boy scout/girl scout activities 

Tip for Logging Supplemental Hours : rather determining how much time was spent engaged in supplemental activities each day, consider adding the entire 8-hour block of hours each Saturday or Sunday.
