		National Health Education Standards (PDF) ReCharge! reinforces the following National Health Education Standards, developed by a joint committee on National Health Education Standards: Standard 1: Student will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention. Standard 6: Students will demonstrate the ability to use goal-setting and decision-making skills to enhance health. Standard 7: Students will demonstrate the ability to advocate for personal, family and community health. Guidelines for Physical Activity for Children 5-12 (PDF) These are the guidelines for the amount and type of physical activity that children should have. In addition to participation in after-school activities and intramural sports, students should have a comprehensive, quality physical education program during the school day. Such a program will provide a portion of the minimum daily physical activity children need. ReCharge! addresses the following guidelines, developed by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education: Children should accumulate at least 60 minutes and up to several hours of age-appropriate activity on all or most days of the week. This should include moderate and vigorous physical activity with the majority of time spent in activity that is intermittent. Children should participate in several bouts of physical activity lasting 15 minutes or more each day. Children should participate each day in a variety of age-appropriate physical activities designed to achieve optimal health, wellness, fitness and performance benefits. Extended periods (periods of two hours or more) of inactivity are discouraged for children, especially during the day. National Standards for Parent/Family Involvement ReCharge! addresses five of the six standards for parent/family involvement programs developed by the National PTA: Standard 1: Communicating — Communication between home and school is regular, two-way and meaningful. Standard 2: Parenting — Parenting skills are promoted and supported. Standard 3: Student Learning — Parents play an integral role in assisting student learning. Standard 4: Volunteering — Parents are welcome in the school, and their support and assistance are sought. Standard 6: Collaborating with Community — Community resources are used to strengthen schools, families and student learning.
