Physical Education prior to graduation to meet state requirements. Students are encouraged to pursue physical activities beyond the minimum requirement stipulated by the state. TSA will award a maximum of 1 credit per year for physical education. This can be completed in any of the following ways:
- 1/4 credit for each marking period of Physical Education elective courses. Examples include weightlifting, winter recreation, etc. Enrollment in these classes will be through the Elective process and credit will be tracked through the regular report card process. This is the best option for students who may find it challenging to meet the Physical Education requirement.
- 1/4 credit for Saskadena Six Ski/Snowboard Program. TSA offers a students the opportunity to participate in a skiing/boarding program each Wednesday afternoon during the winter at Saskadena Six. Students who would like to use skiing for Physical Education credit must complete the HS Flexible Pathways Application.
- 1/2 credit for participation in TSA Athletics (track, soccer, ultimate, or basketball). The Athletic Director and coaches will verify participation in these sports and grant credit.
- 1/4 or 1/2 credit for outside courses or sports participation, depending on the number of hours. Examples might include dance, horseback riding, gymnastics, club soccer, fencing, aerobics and the like. These can be at a community college, through a recreation center, or through other institutions. Students must provide evidence of course completion to the Independent Study Coordinator, Kimberly Barnhart.
- Students may enroll in a PE Personalized Learning Independent Study if there is a strong reason to preclude participation in one of the above options. Students who wish to apply for this option will write a proposal that includes all the elements of an independent study. These independent studies will receive a Pass/Fail grade.
The credits accrued through outside physical activity may not supplant core class credits required for graduation.
Revised September 2017
Physical education requirements may be fulfilled through Electives, Independent Study, or through participation in Athletics.
