PS 177 is a Move-to-Improve All-Star School!!!! This means we maintain a regularly scheduled standards-based physical education (PE) program led by the school’s PE teachers as well as maintain 85% of elementary teachers trained in the Move-to-Improve program.
Move-to-Improve is a classroom-based physical activity program designed by the New York City Department of Education and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to increase physical activity among students, K-5, in elementary school. Move To Improve helps elementary school teachers incorporate short structured fitness breaks into their classrooms. These fitness breaks integrate grade-level academic concepts and physical activity in a 10-minute educational lesson and are aligned to New York State Physical Education Learning Standards. Move-to-Improve can supplement a school's existing physical education program and help schools meet the New York State Education Department mandate of 120 minutes of physical education per week |
