From the NSAA: All NSAA practices and competitions are suspended through May 1. These suspensions may be extended should the conditions warrant. Member schools and student-participants are expected to adhere to the NSAA Constitution & Bylaws and activity manuals.

Elementary Parents and Students: Again, I would encourage students to remain active with a goal of 60 minutes per day. I will give credit for activity toward the Walk/Jog Club, which in turn, earns credit for the school store. Please keep a log of your daily activity. 20 minutes of activity will be equivalent to one mile. Also some of you or your parents have FitBits than can record steps or miles on the "Run" excercise mode. 2500 steps will equal one mile. If you are walking around town, 13 blocks is equal to one mile. Keep your log for the week (Monday through Sunday) and you can email your total minutes of activity or miles for the week and I will apply those to the Walk/Jog club. Here are additional links for at home activities: Parents should be able to sign up for free to the SPARK curriculum that we use in Phys. Ed. and find some at home activities https://blog.sparkpe.org/free-sparkhome-resources/?utm_term=LEARN%20MORE&utm_campaign=SPARK%20-%20Content%20-%20SPARKhome%20Free%20Resources%20-%20March%202020&utm_content=email&utm_source=Act-On+Software&utm_medium=email&cm_mmc=Act-On%20Software-_-email-_-Free%20at-home%20resources%21-_-LEARN%20MORE Here are some additional activities for home through OPENPHYSED https://openphysed.org/activeschools/activehome Thank you, Mr. Backemeyer
