(see instructions on waiver form)
Participation in Interscholastic Athletics and Activities
(Junior and Seniors only) [Includes Maplettes,
Cheerleaders, Gymnastics, and Swimming]
For additional information, students should see their
guidance counselor. Students requesting a physical
education waiver must apply during spring registration. An
athlete who does not make a team or fails to try out for a
team must contact a high school counselor and
immediately return to physical education class by the
following school day. An athlete who quits the team after
practice has started will be required to repeat the entire
quarter of physical education regardless of the waiver
status in the following semester. The student is solely
responsible for requesting a schedule change if they are
no longer eligible for the PE waiver. Failure to follow these
directions may compromise the student’s graduation
status. A physical education waiver may impact a
student's grade point average and class rank.
