• HPE Activity Tracking & Activity Band Loan Request

    The vision of Virtual Loudoun is to cultivate quality, flexible, self-paced, virtual learning.
     

    Virtual Health and Physical Education (HPE) courses require a total of 54.5 hours of varied physical activity during Terms 1 and 2, and 48.5 hours during Term 3.  The physical activity must be tracked by an approved activity device or mobile app, in addition to the Health and/or Driver Education curriculum.  Meeting these activity requirements can be challenging within the 15 or 10 week virtual term.  Students need to log and track activities weekly for full credit. Physical activity requirements cannot be waived or reduced. Students who cannot meet the activity requirement should discuss other options with their School Counselor.

    These courses follow the Virginia Standards of Learning for Health and Physical Education. Each student is required to participate in physical activity following the Virginia Standards of Learning. Just like a traditional course, Virtual Loudoun’s HPE courses require students’ physical activity to be completed specifically to earn credit in HPE. This course allows each student to participate in a variety of REQUIRED ACTIVITIES, which can be found on each module’s fitness log. Students are required to get 6 hours (360 minutes) of physical activity, for each of the required fitness logs. 

    Students must participate in a variety of activities meeting topic requirements to earn full credit. While we understand that students participate in a variety of school, club, and specialized sports, no more than 90 minutes per log may be used from that activity to earn credit for HPE.  All activities can be used for a maximum of 90 minutes per log.  Additional fitness log details can be viewed in the HPE course once a student's course begins. 

     

    Tracking physical activity

    Please be sure to secure an Activity Tracking Device for use with your course prior to the start date. Screenshots of activity logs are required to earn credit in your course. If there is an app associated with your wearable tracker, you may use that as well. For example, Fitbit uses the Fitbit app, Apple Watch uses the Activity app, Garmin watch uses Garmin Connect app, and Movband uses the EngageMoves app. The only exception would be for water sports, if your device cannot be worn in the water. You may manually enter your water sports activity or use an app like Swim.com (no more than 90 minutes per log may be used).

    For this course, students are required to track their physical activity with a wearable activity tracker. They may use one that they own if approved by their teacher, or they may request one from the Activity Band Request section below. 

    Most fitness tracking devices require the use of a webpage or mobile application for users to sync with their device.  Loudoun County Public Schools does not control the data that is collected by these applications.  For more information about how your device application provider uses student data, parents should refer to the terms of service and privacy policies for the application your child will use. 

    If your student requests a band from Virtual Loudoun, they will receive a Movband.  Please see the details below regarding terms of service and privacy.

    The Movband activity tracking applications and Engage Moves website are managed and maintained by EngageMoves.

    TERMS OF USE

    PRIVACY POLICY

    The Engage Moves website requires the following user information to be shared to use a Movband:  first name, last name, date of birth, gender, grade level, and height.  To ensure student information is as safe as possible, the username used when creating the Engage Moves account should be the same as the student's LCPS email address, and the account should be created with the least amount of personal information possible.  Questions regarding the Movable Chrome app, the EngageMoves mobile app, or the Engage Moves website, should be emailed to support@engagemoves.com. 

    To Reset a Movband

    In the event that you were provided a Movband that was used in a previous term, you will need to reset the account associated with the device.  Click here to visit the Movband Support page for the directions needed to complete this process. 

    Important:  Please make sure you are registered and have synced your device before you use your Movband for the first time.  Using your Movband prior to registering your account will cause you to lose the activity moves/miles/steps you earned before registration.

    Activity Band Request

    Students are encouraged to use their own activity tracking device for their virtual Health and PE course. If you do not have a device and you are unable to purchase one, please click here to request an activity band.  A pickup time and location will be coordinated with you prior to the start of your course. 

    Important:  Please make sure you are registered and have synced your device before you use your Movband for the first time.  Using your Movband prior to registering your account will cause you to lose the activity moves/miles/steps you earned before registration.
