Assessment Reporting Updates

OSPI annual reporting for Educational Technology, Health/PE, Arts, and Social Studies instruction and assessment is continuing this year. Reports have been modified and streamlined to reflect the challenges districts face this year. OSPI will contact districts when reporting templates are available.

Physical Education minutes

OSPI has filed a rule change (CR 101 ) that would suspend the requirement that all students in grades 1-8 receive at least 100 instructional minutes per week, per year of physical education for the 2020-21 school year. Physical Education instruction is still mandated in grades 1-8. You can follow OSPI rule making here and/or email your written comments to healthpe@k12.wa.us.
