Physical Activity
Physically active students are better learners. Physical activity has been proven to increase students’ academic performance, attendance and positive behavior. The Office of Student Health and Wellness recommends 60 minutes of physical activity per day, and encourages schools to achieve this guideline by developing Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP). The CPSAP includes physical education, physical activity during the school day (including recess and physical activity in the classroom), before and after school physical activity programs, parent and community engagement and staff involvement.
