Request for Physical Education Credit through Athletic Participation

High school students who actively participate and complete 95% of a school sponsored sport season or 90+ hours of a state/nationally sanctioned sport (i.e., USA Gymnastics Association, National Wheelchair Basketball Association, etc.) may complete an additional .5 credit in English, mathematics, science, social studies, or a health elective in lieu of the final .5 credit of their physical education requirement as cited in School Board Policy 5127.

While not considered WIAA sanctioned sports, all school sponsored sports, including cheerleading, poms and dance qualify for this waiver, as well as that of participation in 90+ hours of a non-school sponsored state/nationally sanctioned sport. The course in lieu of the final .5 credit of their physical education requirement must be completed by the end of the first semester of the senior year. Students must not have had an athletic code violation which led to a suspension during the sport season to be eligible for the course in lieu of the final .5 credit of their physical education requirement.

The Athletic/Activities Department in conjunction with Student Services will award this .5 Credit Waiver to any/all students upon successfully completing their first athletic season in good standing. Students who wish to use this waiver in lieu of the final .5 credit of their physical education requirement must disclose their additional course selection with an academic counselor. If a student does not “make the team,” the student is responsible for alerting the Counselor, so that alternate scheduling plans may be made as needed.
