2.0	School work	Describes general aspects of schoolwork done at home during COVID stay at-at-home including child behavior, parent involvement, technology, and perception of school district	“Well, for my daughter who was in fifth grade, it wasn’t a ton of work. Her teacher did have frequent Zooms, probably 2 or 3 times a week in the morning and assigned a few things, which she completed within an hour or 2. And they were also supposed to be reading 30 minutes a day. But other than that, there really wasn’t a ton of work.”
3.0	Physical Education	Describes what schools provided for PE during stay-at-home instruction, accountability, and substitute activities	“One day, there was planking. There was, I don’t know if you’ve done wall sits before. Jogging in place. We stretched. Sometimes it was just kind of like, every once in a while, there’d be this program where it would be a song, and the kids just followed along to the dance.”
4.0	Physical Activity	Describes the current and past physical activities of family, changes due to COVID, technology for PA	“She dances on the competitive team, so she dances about 7–8 hours a week on a normal basis, when the studios were open.”

Pre-COVID, I would go 3 times a week. But of course, since that was canceled, it’s mostly just been walking in the neighborhood and that, of course, weather dependent.”
7.0	Value/Importance of PA	Describes what the parent(s) value about their child’s and their own PA	“Well, of course, just for health-wise, I think it’s important for her to stay active and in shape and then just for competitive dance as well.
