According to the investigation of typical Chinese rural-urban communities and their school districts, ample studies about social media can improve the teaching and learning practice. Our project established a ‘public page’ on the most popular social media platform in China aims to enhance the engagement and participation of the K9 student in physical education activities in and out of the classroom. Help the students transfer from the teacher-centric study model to the student-centric study model under the supervision of teachers, parents, and community volunteers, especially during the pandemic period. This project integrated the source from school districts and communities, and rebuilt a strong connection between schools, families, and communities before and after the Covid-19 spread. Also, it is an example of School, Family, and Community Partnerships interactions to contribute to more involvement in Physical education activities.
