Hello Promenade Families,
Thank you for taking the time to read this important message. Schools will continue to be closed based on recommendations and guidance from the California Department of Public Health. Alvord USD Child Nutrition Services will continue to provide food services to our families from 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. at the CNS Offices. This to-go food service allows families to drive through to pick up a meal for students under the age of 18. Food consumption or group assembly will not be permitted on campus. Your student must be present to receive a meal.
Please visit our Alvord Unified district website https://www.alvordschools.org for additional online resources to support your child's educational program during this time. We will be providing you links to a variety of activities and videos to enhance learning. We are adding links daily so keep checking back!
Please continue to check your e-mail, phone messages, and the district website for updated information regarding the closures.
We wish your family health and wellness.

PE (from Coach Molina)
During this time it is important that your students still receive adequate physical activity. At least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity per day is recommended.
What does moderate activity look like? You’re working hard enough to raise your heart rate and you’re sweating. All of the following fit the “moderate” definition of exercise:
· Walking (brisk)
· Yard work or gardening
· Household chores
· Shooting baskets
· Bicycling (slowly)
· Catching/Throwing
· Social dance
What does vigorous activity look like? You’re breathing hard and fast. Your heart rate is significantly raised and you can’t talk without pausing for a breath. All of the following fit the “vigorous” definition of exercise:
· Aerobic dance
· Bicycling (rapid pace)
· Jogging/Running
· Jump roping
· Soccer
· Jumping jacks
· Skate boarding/Roller skates
Strength and endurance are important to enable children to perform every day functions such as fine motor skills (e.g. holding a pencil appropriately, cleaning teeth), gross motor skills (e.g. carrying heavy school bags, walking, running, skipping, playground skills such as climbing, and sporting skills such as catching, throwing and hitting a ball with a bat).
What activities can help improve strength and endurance?
· Hop Scotch for hopping, or other games that encourage direct task/skill practice.
· Wheelbarrow walking races (where the child ‘walks’ on their hand and adults hold their feet of the ground) to develop upper body strength.
· Push-ups: These can be graded from doing it against a wall, to on a raised table to on hands and knees and then ultimately to on the ground on toes. This is an activity that engages a large amount of muscles, so the benefits for this one activity are enormous.
· Playground climbing and swinging.
· Throw bean bags: The added weight of a bean bag when throwing helps develop strength and endurance.
· Curl – ups/Sit – ups: Abdominal strength
