Physical Education Exemption

participate in 2 seasons of Heath High School Sports or Marching
Band.
• You cannot combine 1 PE course with one sport.
• No credit is given for the sport, so the student must make up that ½
somewhere else.
• If your child took PE 8 that will be counted as a High School Credit. PE is
also a freshman/sophomore course. Students who say that they are playing
a sport or are in band must do one of these their freshman year or sign up
for two PE classes their sophomore year.
