Did you know that on April 4, 2018, Senate Bill 1083, the Recess Law, was signed into law?
The law requires all schools that have grades K-5 to provide two recess periods per school day. Per the law, recess is defined as “a period of time during the regular school day, including time before or after a scheduled lunch period, during which a pupil is able to engage in physical activity or social interaction with other pupils”.
For guidance on recess best practices, please view the Let's Play! Arizona Recess Toolkit or visit our Recess Webpage
