Hopewell Area SD Moving to Remote Instruction on Wednesday, April 30, 2025

Due to continued road closures taking place throughout the Hopewell Area School District overnight which will not be cleared prior to morning bus runs, the Hopewell Area School District will move to remote instruction on Wednesday, April 30. No district transportation will take place on Wednesday.

The district realizes that power and Internet are not yet functioning in many district locations. However, at this time, Duquesne Light is reporting that power should be restored sometime overnight. So, it is our intention to operate school as a flexible instruction day on Wednesday, April 30. Should that mode need to change to a complete closure due to widespread Internet access issues, then another email will be sent with that update by 8AM.

Should anyone not have direct access to FID packets or be able to join classes virtually, students will be provided with adequate time to complete and turn in work as needed. Please communicate with teachers and principals as needed if your student has any issues.

PE Fitness Log Directions

Each student will keep their fitness log on the Google Doc provided. Complete a new document each week and make sure to save them in a folder in your Google Drive.
Acceptable activities that can be recorded in the journal are activities that require the use of the majority of your body - i.e. running, strength training, biking, swimming, cutting the grass, walking the dog, dancing, cleaning the house, etc…
The activity should be approximately 30 minutes which would equate to 4 journals per week. You may track any activity per day that totals 30min.
Your logs must be kept for 9 weeks of activity. This involves engaging in 2 hours of physical activity each week (that is not school related).
You need to record your heart rate at the beginning, during, and at the end of each activity.
- Finding your Heart Rate: (Must be done for each fitness log entry)
  - Locate your heart rate either on your wrist (palm up on the side closest to the thumb or on the side of your neck) using your pointer and middle finger.
  - Count the number of beats for 15 seconds.
  - Multiply that number by 4 and that will give you your heart rate for 1 minute.
You also need to record your intensity level. This can be done at the beginning of the class once and then recorded in a notebook for future reference.
- Determining your Intensity Level:
  - Calculate your maximum heart rate (MHR) using the Tanaka Method of Calculating MHR which is used primarily for sporadic exercises.
    - MHR= 208 - ( 0.7 x (Your Age in Years))
    - Example for an 18 year old.
      - MHR = 208 - (0.7 x 18) (The part in parentheses must be completed first)
      - MHR = 208 - (2.6)
      - MHR = 195.4 - The fastest your heart rate should beat during exercise
  - Calculate your low, medium, and high intensity levels
    - Low Intensity is 50% to 60% of your MHR
    - Medium Intensity is 61% to 70% of your MHR
    - High Intensity is 71% to 85% of your MHR
    - Example calculations for an 18 year old
      - Low Intensity:
        50% of MHR= 195 x .50 = 98
        60% of MHR= 195 x .60 = 117
      - Medium Intensity
        61% of MHR= 195 x .61 = 119
        70% of MHR= 195 x .70 = 137
      - High Intensity
        71% of MHR= 195 x .71 = 138
        80% of MHR= 195 x .80 = 166
Finally, you must answer reflection questions on how this week's fitness activities relate to the fitness goals and Fitnessgram testing that you completed during the first week of the course.
