Description:

A PE exemption for participation in DPS athletics may be granted in grades 9-11 if the student completes the season in good standing. To qualify for exemption, a student must express intent for the exemption at the start of the sports season. This occurs by obtaining an exemption application from their school counselor or school leadership, completing the required information and submitting it to the athletic director of the school where they will participate

Who is Responsible? Please contact your counselor for the PE Waiver form.

Guidelines and Considerations:

DPS athletics that are sanctioned by CHSAA and meet the criteria below may exempt a student from the physical education graduation requirement. No grade or credit will be given for athletic participation and such exemptions will not reduce the number of units required to earn a diploma. Both semesters of the physical education requirement may be exempted by athletic participation.

- One full sport season played at DPS is required to exempt a student from 0.5 unit of PE; two full sport seasons played is required to exempt from 1 unit of PE
- PE exemptions from other districts are non-transferable and will not apply to this exemption.
- Exempted units must be made up in other subject areas
- Student must be a high school freshman, sophomore, or junior
