In 2008, the Iowa Legislature enacted “the Healthy Kids Act,” requiring that all students in grades 6 – 12 engage in physical activity for a minimum of 120 minutes per week in which there are at least five days of school.  The law also requires that we monitor how students fulfill this requirement.

At Regis Middle School the students can fulfill this state mandate through a combination of Physical Education/Wellness classes and through other activities during the school day. These will result in varied number of minutes of physical activity per week.

In addition to the curricular experiences offered at school, students may not be able to fulfill the 120 minute requirement without involvement in other extra-curricular and/or non-school activities. Therefore we are requesting that all families complete this form listing the other activities, which will lead to the completion of this requirement.
