Our extended learning for Preschoolers has launched today!! This is going to be so much fun!

Hello! I will be using OPENPhysEd to help our kids stay physically active and healthy while the school is closed. In order to meet the physical education goals during this time student must be physically active for 60 minutes each day. You can use the this physical activity log to record your activity time. Remember, activity doesn’t have to happen all at once. Have FuN and StAy AcTiVe!
