Ankeny Schools Adapt to New Health Rules | Des Moines News

Ankeny schools are rolling out new daily routines to comply with a state law prioritizing student health—capping screen time for K–5 students at just 60 minutes and boosting physical activity across grades. While younger kids already get their daily movement, fourth graders need more recess and middle schoolers will soon follow suit. Creative solutions like pre-class gym time and lunchtime activity are being piloted, with older students already meeting the physical activity standard. The goal? A balanced school day with less screen time and more movement for every student. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
