PE CREDIT
• ELIGIBILITY: Any athlete that earns a Varsity or JV Letter as outlined below will be eligible for PE credit.
• WAIVER FORM: Waiver forms must be turned-in to Gwen by the conclusion of the season. A specific deadline will be
announced later and the form itself is available on the blog in the right margin on the home page in the ‘General’ section.
• ATTENDANCE: Attend and participate in practices in their entirety. No more than 8 absences of ANY KIND whether
excused or unexcused. Missing part of a practice or non-relay or invitational meet both count as absences. VERY
IMPORTANT: ABSENCES FOR PE CREDIT PURPOSES BEGIN COUNTING ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE SEASON (Monday,
August 22) REGARDLESS OF WHEN AN ATHLETE BEGINS PARTICIPATING. (I.E. – If you do not turnout for practice until the
second week, you have already tallied 5 absences.)
• COMPLETE THE SEASON: Attend and compete in all non-relay or invitational meets through the latest meet on our
schedule that you are eligible for. (For most of the team, that meet will be KingCo on October 22.)
